Many Members
The body consists of many members.
With ears we can hear; with eyes we can see.
With a sharp mind one learns and remembers.
The legs and the arms function differently.
The ear shouldn't covet to become the eye
for the desire to be able to see.
Would it cease to hear if it were to try?
If all were the eye, could the body be?
The body can't tell the lungs, "I don't need you,"
for they are essential for one's breath.
Some members that seem uncomely to view,
if removed could lead to the body's death.
We're all unique members of one body.
None should feel lowly or be puffed with pride.
Each is needed to perform completely.
By God's design together we abide.
