Less

The heart beating in your breast,
mouth breathing in your every breath,
lungs making air a fleeting guest,
intestines discreet to digest
while you live and lie in rest –
each of them for aye attest
that God made your soul’s address
and while we walk and brag all blessed,
the Lord impresses His request:
that we give Adonai our best
and try to think of ourselves less.
