Muscles and bones are included
when we arrive on this earth.
Muscles weak in their youth,
bones malleable and calcify as we grow.
Our job is to
work our muscles
in concert with
our skeletons to allow us
to breathe
to walk,
to run,
to dance,
to smile
to hold a cup of tea
to hop, skip and jump
to carry our books to and from school,
to play hop scotch or kick the can,
to eat or drink when its time
to skate
to lift weights, or knead bread,
to crochet
to do fine needle work
and anything else we even try to do
to curl up and sleep, stretching, tossing and turning.
We work them with each waking minute
~ so much so that they are just there.
“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”
~ Jim Rohn, entrepreneur, author
(1930 ~ 2009)
