My body, my body,
Why have I forsaken thee?

Thou who carried me here,
And carries me through,
Thou my strength, my protection,
My instinct, my beauty

How could I doubt thee?
That you are with me and for me,
Why did I let myself be tricked
To think you are *****, unclean, deceitful?

It is I who was untrue

You remain faithful,
Step by step,
Day by day,
Carrying me,
Hair flowing,
Heart beating,
Eyes searching

Each breath a gift,
Each day together

Wholly, holy, one

Thank you
