A wondrous dance, a story to recall.
Cells divide, a symphony of might,
To build and grow, to bring forth life's bright light.
From single cells, a complex form takes shape,
A tapestry of life, a wondrous escape.
From tiny seeds to towering trees,
Cell division, a maestro at ease.
Mitosis, the dance of replication true,
Two daughter cells, a perfect, mirrored view.
Chromosomes align, a precise array,
New life begins, to live and play.
Meiosis, a dance of genetic grace,
Haploid cells, a new generation's embrace.
Chromosomes shuffled, a mix and a blend,
Variety unfolds, a story to transcend.
From skin and bone to organs grand,
Cell division, a guiding hand.
Repairing wounds, renewing each day,
Life's intricate web, in perfect display.
But when this dance goes astray, a fearsome plight,
Uncontrolled growth, a battle for life's light.
Cancer's grip, a force to be defied,
Cell division's power, twisted and denied.
Yet, in the face of this darkness, hope remains,
Research and knowledge, breaking the chains.
Understanding the dance, its every turn,
To conquer disease, a future to discern.
