Favorite Poem

This Body is a Home (all time favorite)
These hands reach out to touch the stars
That shine up in the sky
These eyes have power to open doors
Set inside this mind
These lips have power to change the world
These hands write out those thoughts
These feet feel the ground beneath the girl
Who's thrown away what she was taught
These legs stand strong above the sand
These shoulders feel the wind
All these ideas come to land
And an ache sets in this skin
This heart beats hard, it's steady; strong
These lungs scream out for air
This tongue will hold the words no longer
These teeth will find limits to tear
This body sleeps, this body breathes
This soul is all this body knows
This body is safe, and this body feels
This body is my home
