SKIN AND BONES

 

Skin and bones.

That’s all we are.

Easy to break.

Easy to fall.

Don’t fall apart.

Keep strong.

Keep fit.

In mind,

Body,

And soul.

That is certainly a frightening gif. Fortunately, skin, our largest organ, is still quite flexible with age and holds everything in, even though our bones get brittle, break and have all kinds of infirmities like arthritis making it feel like our hands are breaking off any time. Especially if we use our hands a lot for typing or other tasks.

As for your poem. Good advice.

Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or Agnostic, strong or weak, prolific or measured; we are all like mists that appear for a moment and then disappear. Wisdom is essential while we are here. Peace... r

Yes, skin and bones are easy to break, and so is the heart which can put us back together again.
