Secondhand Atoms

I wonder where the atoms which today make what is me,
Have been throughout the universe and came here so to be?
How many lives here on the Earth have they repeated been a part.
How many times the foundation of a beating human heart?

What have they seen which me informs, and wisdom do they hold?
What stories and adventures could they expound if ever told?
How might they from here move on, to become a someone more?
That they may also speculate as to what and where they were before.
