One finger gone can make one look ugly; <br />One missing leg can make life so dreary; <br />One scar on face can ruin complexion; <br />One eye that’s blind can make life difficult. <br /> <br />A fractured bone makes rest, a misery; <br />A heart attack turns life so miserable; <br />A seizure illness needs life-time of drugs; <br />A diabetic may need ‘insulin-pricks’! <br /> <br />The body-organs God-given are great; <br />They work with harmony and precision; <br />We do not know their values until late; <br />No pump on earth can beat like natural heart. <br /> <br />From dust, God made man very brilliantly; <br />God’s love for man is almost infinite! <br />Is not the human body sacrosanct? <br />And yet, we do not rest our body-parts! <br /> <br />There’s nothing like the circadian rhythm; <br />Each cell has machinery adequate; <br />The genes control all metabolic acts; <br />The fetus is a miniature human! <br /> <br />So, hygiene is so important in life; <br />Some discipline is essential too; <br />Our habits must not cause much ‘wear and tear’; <br />We need both quality and long life-span. <br /> <br />The human mind and body are assets; <br />There is no wealth better than these on earth; <br />A healthy person lives with forbearance; <br />Firm faith in God is foremost need of life. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 4-11-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-gifts-to-man/
