no place owns me

to God, who gave me one weird stomach!

i looked in the mirror--
how i hate my abdomen!
so lazy
so lazy i am
Lord,
i know i'm created in your image--
Lord,
i know you  made me beautiful--
but when i look
i find a distinct trait--
why is my right side flat
compared to the pertruding left?
does that mean?
surely not!

i don't know if any other guy has it,
i mean does anyone else see their body
and their ribs are not symmetrical?

so--
Lord,
if this is truly your doing--
Oh
Lord,
then please tell me!

where is she?

This is adorable and I'm sure she's not very far.  Probably looking for fig leaves.  Joyce

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

I guess looking at the title that I've got some time to figure this all out....A very nice beginning though...  This does seem like the in- part...of fection.  I hope so anyway. Bob <><
