Reverse Polarity

In God's own image, we are born.
Not just of bones and flesh are we;
as hearts and minds often are sworn
to just live well- unburdened, free.

But, deep within resides our Soul-
our special gift that God bestowed;
a sacred gem- which makes us whole
to follow our salvation road.

And, of the three- soul, heart, and mind-
the soul commands the most blessed space-
where life fulfillment we will find 
on pathways lined with holy grace.

Our flesh and bones- with mind and heart
are earthly gifts to live each day.
But Soul alone, nourished from start-
will lead us on to Heaven's stay.
