Consider the way the different body parts work to serve.
Your feet are your fleshly bodies’ foundation,
they will carry you where-ever you go.
Your legs and your knees dictate your stride,
whether standing, walking, or running to and fro.

Your hips will let you swing and sway,
do dances of form and grace.
The hips let you sit on anything,
in your home, car, a plane, you name the place.

Your abdomen, both upper and lower,
contain all organs of vital worth.
We must take care of our body as a whole;
diet and exercise help to maintain a healthy girth.

Our heart is in there, encased in ribs of bone,
it’s a vital organ to the physical, and for love.
The human body is of such intricate design,
God formed us in His image, and gave us a little shove.

Then we have our face, throat, brain and mind;
have you ever considered the functions of the face?
The mouth, where our food enters the body,
the eyes, and how they see the world, every little place?

The nose is such a wonder, so many functions to perform;
vital breathing, protective hairs, the sense of smell, alone!
Man made odors, and the scent of the earth,…
have you ever tried to count the scents, found around a home?

As Solomon said and it’s so true,
“How wondrous and magnificently made”.
Even if one offered all the wealth of the earth,
a man-made being couldn’t compare, no matter what was paid.
