This is my body - The Chapel

This is my body.

I sit, I stand, I walk.
I grasp my fingers,
I curl my toes,
I stretch my shoulders.

The sun warms my face,
The breeze cools my neck,
The morning dew freshens my senses.
What a feeling to feel alive!

I blink, I breathe,
My heart pulses
With a quickened beat.

I rub the tips of my fingers together,
And examine their lines and grooves.
No one has prints like mine.

This is my body,
Fitting and familiar,
Co-companion in my joys and sorrows,
Co-conspirator against the darkness.

Trace the contours of my hands,
Feel their testimony.
For this, my body, was given for you,
That you might share in its vitality.
