My blood flows so dutifully
Sweat arrives on cue
Skin protects quite beautifully
Heart beats strong and true
Breath turns up when needed
It hasn't failed in years.
Muscles work unheeded
Faithful as eyes and ears
My body and I
We have so little in common
Sweat arrives on cue

It hasn't failed in years.
Muscles work unheeded
Faithful as eyes and ears
My body and I

I've 'composed' this but have to give credit to Steve Turner, a British poet who originally wrote a similar poem that I last heard 35 years ago. I've been unable to find it anywhere so I put this together in an attempt to recreate it.
