Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars

Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars*
Just back home from a surgery
Of coronary arteries,
With the body ailing with pain,
Chess and left foot stretching with strain,
When getting to and up from bed
Is an awful burden to dread,
When taking meals instills no taste,
When sight of pills emits distaste,
When fulfilling one`s daily needs
Becomes a real load, indeed,
When suffering becomes a friend,
When ailing bones foresee no end,
When treading few steps is a core,
Yet the spirit soars very high
Like eagles flying in the sky,
It is time the Lord to adore,
It`s time to recall divine hymns,
It is time the Lord`s name to chime,
It is high time the soul to seek,
It is time the spirit to meet,
It`s time to raise the spirit high,
Let it fly high up in the sky,
Let positive thoughts greet the mind
That the body its health may find.
