Dear Body,
I thank you for loving me back when I didn’t love you
I thank you for carrying me through the places we didn’t belong
I thank you for healing my heart from the inside out
And I thank you for helping me dance to the end of each song
I thank you for remembering how to give me deep joy
And I thank you for gifting me the freedom of choice
I thank you for not turning to cold rock or stone
And I thank you for the chance of empowering my voice
I also give thanks for your impartial forgiveness
And I thank you too for your steel-hard strength
I thank you for holding my soft soul with tenderness
And I thank you for affording me a life well spent
So what a truly admirable body you are
And know I shall respect you right up to our end
For this is my sincerest pledge to you
Forever together, my ardent and hardy very best friend
