Dear Body,
You are the body I inhabit;
You've had a part in the path of life.
from birth till the present day
You have seen me through time and destiny.
A canvas of memories is your flesh.
Every mark and wrinkle has a tale to be told.
Your bones are a skeletal support system.
No matter what, keep me upright
Your muscles can be a source of power.
helping me to move quickly, jump, and generally
The world is visible through your senses.
A variety of sensations are present and unfold.

Dear body,
I frequently assume you're okay.
exceeding your limitations without being asked to
Please pardon me for the times I neglected.
Your wants, needs, and peace are disturbed
Today, I promise to respect you
To hear, care for, and cherish you as
well since without you, I am nothing.
A mere pretense, a hollow offering
=
Dear body,
I appreciate you being a
conduit for my spirit and the
purpose of my life.
You have my unconditional affection,
my dear body, my dazzling star.

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

My poor body needs to read this every day. it can sure use the pep talk.😂🤣😎🥰. I loved this.
Perfect 👌 ❤️💯😉❗
Great work! 😊 A good idea for the challenge. 👍
Ahh, but surely we don't "inhabit" our bodies. We *are* our bodies. Love of the body is love of the Self ❤ Good luck in the challenge 😁
Fantastic idea for the challenge- Good Luck! And well said reflections on the 'Us' outside of us.
I really enjoyed this. You explored something in such a way that I don’t typically see. It was a unique take, but it’s true, that we should care for our bodies more. Excellent writing!
