Ode to My Body

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 dirty, 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
