An Ode to My Mouth

Chews the food that revitalizes life,
Brightens my face with beautiful smiles,
Voices my joy and quietens my strife,
Takes away sorrows, halts my trials.
Talks me out of situations so dire,
It designs me into a gentle man.
My mouth asserts love to those I admire—
Hence my union has a long lifespan.

Yes. It is so vital. Mine is neuropathic, so I really wish I could feel so good about mine. Congrats in my contest
