Sue Mason Poet Ode

Taken For Granted

My feet
     that have brought me so very far
My face
     that has shown a million smiles
My hands
     that can hold yours,
My fingers
     that write, or paint, or sew, or hide
my tears that are as the ocean.

My arms that grow weary now,
My legs that ache with the rain,
My eyes,
    Oh God, my glorious eyes!
My ears,
    that hear so well ...
    (stand away if you have a secret to tell).

My nose 
     that sniffles some,
My teeth long ago gone and replaced
     with shiny modern miracles.
My heart 
     that with this amazing beat ...
     this breath
As my love only grows
for these many gifts.
