Check Engine Light

Our bodies give signals that
We often ignore
The basics we know such as
Food, water, and exercise
The importance of relationships
For sharing life's journey
Prayer and meditation
Faith in God's plan
Our bodies give signals that
We often ignore until we
Experience pain or unknowingly
Embrace some floor
We each are a sacred vessel
Created and designed by our Lord
Housing for the spirit and soul
Wrapped exquisitely within
Your body that tenderly
Protects a soul.

Pauline, I do not know who Joe is, but I have added my prayers to yours. This poem is lovely.

Joe is our closest friend. He suffered a silent heart attack, but is recovering. All prayers are appreciated.
