Mind and Body
If you feel bewildered
And out of touch
And you think your blessings
Do not amount to much
Take a sheet of paper,
And take time out to write
As your list grows longer
It will fill you with delight
It will give the assurance,
And comfort that you need
It shows your endurance
The more of the list you read
It is natural to feel bewildered,
And need a crutch as we age
You feel trapped in your body
Like a bird in a cage.
If you sit quietly,
Many memories you'll see
The doors of your mind will open
To enable you to run free
