Body


I am blessed to have all my body parts.  

They work well for my body type.  

I am happy.  


My body is in great shape. 


I can walk. 

I can move, 

I can talk.  


I can hear. 

I can see. 

I can smell. 

I can breathe. 


I love my body.  

I take care of it. 

It's a wonderful piece of work. 




Parts


I see a lot of people 

With different parts. 


Some people have no legs. 

Others have no arms. 

Some have no fingers. 


Others have no feet. 

Some have no toes.  


It's great to have parts. 

Like parts of a car. 

The all work together. 

They all stick together. 


All the parts love and 

Adore each other.
