My Body

My body is the vessel that carries me through the world.

It is what allows me to walk that walk,

so I can talk that talk.

It is the manifestation of my soul,

of my dreams,

of my ancestry,

of my history,

of my future…

it carries a heavy load.

So, I am learning to be gentle with it,

resilient with it,

kind to it,

graceful with it…

I am learning to say, “Thank You”.
