No one chooses their birth parents,
only this body is our gift,
our present without conditions,
no one chooses the skin they're in,
enter prison or paradise,
consider the body a gift,
how you offer it to the world,
only you decide its function,
only you decide its value,
sever your thoughts of the body,
enlist your mind to inhabit
skin, no matter the shade you're in,
treat your body with acceptance,
however you feel about it,
even if others disparage,
insult, belittle your body,
remember it is your present,
brace yourself against ignorance,
indeed your own and from others,
remember we're all on the path,
trailing behind or up ahead,
humbly lost within a forest,
partake of this great adventure,
as you come to understand truth,
reside in the House of the Lord,
enter the world as gifts from God,
no one can harm your inner light,
treat this gift from God with wisdom,
still, you will make mistakes and grow...
observe the world as the body,
nothing reflects the mind like mind,
like a pool reflects an image,
yet the mind reflects only mind,
take a moment to consider
how mind inhabits the body,
in this same way, body enters
separate from nothing it sees,
breathe in the stench of our vast world,
only atop a mountain peak
does the air smell crisp, purified,
yet, nowhere can we find fresh air,
inherit the earth as a gift,
still, we must care for this treasure,
only our attitudes reflect
understanding of this compact,
remember, make a covenant,
grant this earth your solemn duty,
in this, we make a pact with God,
for we are here on this planet
to reflect His Will and Goodness.
