Body Parts

I have this brain
With which I sometimes think

A set of eyes
Stuck in sockets to see

Two healthy lungs
That know the key is to breath

To keep my heart pumping 
In its perpetual beat

A mouth that too often 
Doesn't think when it speaks

A stomach that growls 
When it's time too feed

Not too picky 
When it comes to its choice of eats

Other body parts involved
In the space between

Some working fine
Others struggling to reach 

All miraculously entwined  
From my head to feet

These are just a few parts I've got
That make up part of me
