Your Body, Behold! Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

Your Body, Behold!



You have only one body,
one body to live with,
one body to care for and feed.

You have only one body
given as a heavenly gift
a sacred body as created.

Take care of this body-
this body, which only once
was given as your precious gift.
