With body and spirit we live;
as one, forms a team that will give
support to each other- yet find
our spirit empowers the mind.
The mind is a powerful thing;
within it, our spirit will sing.
for it is born deep in the Soul
to keep us together- and whole.
The body lives on with a heart-
as organs contribute their part.
When ailing, will signal the pain;
discomfort is hard to contain.
So that's when our Spirit uplifts
and sores with its God-given gifts,
to help soothe the physical hurt-
endorphins for solace, insert.
Yes, “mind over matter” is true.
The spirit within, coming through
to uplift dim outlooks when ill;
keep strong and empower our will.
