Last Night While Asleep

Last night while asleep my heart kept beating. Life-blood through arteries with veins repeating. Five quarts of blood in twenty-three seconds, Circulating through me—my body beckons. Last night while asleep, my body at rest, Drained poison my bloodstream possessed. Carbon dioxide, by oxygen replaced. Lungs cleansing while breathing kept pace. The nervous system, while I'm unaware, Was busy playing neuro-solitaire. Body repairing, last night while asleep. Preparing for appointments to keep. How does this happen? And who gives command? We are complex--our bodies well planned. Our blessed Creator keeps us through the night. To arise and start another day off right.
