Health #2 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 7

 Working Parts

 

Thank You, Lord,

I still have eyes to see

Ears to hear, nose to smell

And mouth do all those things mouths do.

Thank You for my arms, hands fingers, legs, feet, toes.

And everything in between.

 

Thank You, Lord,

for all my functioning parts.

Thank you for the internet

so I can look up exercises

to help with aches and pains

in my aging body.

 

Thank You that I can still

Hike in the woods.

Kayak in lakes and bays,

Bike on the back roads.

Swim in the pool.

Dance in the living room.

 

Thank You, Lord,

for my healthy parts

and that when my body up and dies

like bodies do

I’ll go Home

to be with You.
