Although the body is on loan, or rather on lease for a time, the soul and the mind leave at the appointed time with and in the spirit, so to to speak, wherever the spirit dwells. This is a wonderful post, in no fixed meter or rhyme, well done, blessings Roy

Beautifully said! I totally agree! I remember one mom saying to me that in her Christmas gifts to the kids, she always considers specifically to provide something for the body, the mind, and the soul - like clothes, books, and something to remind them about God.

This is a very good poem that you have written. I enjoyed listening to it very much the way you like things out it seems that as a three-part person mind body and soul each of those things change as we get older. In our youth we are very eager to learn answer her mind is very active as we get older we have to move to keep her body is going. But as we get old then it seems that we have more feeling and compassion for others as described in the soul. Patricia

Lovely, well crafted verse with skilful development throughout and with a perfect denouement in the form of that final quatrain. This gentle and personal post effectively conveys a sincere love of God. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Debbie

It seems so simple when we are children and then words creep into our minds giving us ideas and opinions. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

A very thoughtful piece, and written in a way that makes me think it would be spectacular to perform, e.g. at a school presentation night or a church function. It's worth considering!

I love your poem recognizing humans as three parts. So often we think only of the body and fail to recognize the mind and spirit as vital parts making our whole. As you wrote,
Mind, body, and soul.
Three parts of a whole.
Each with a role.
To make us feel whole.
I think we feel the mind and soul play a lesser part because we can't see them with our physical eyes. Your poem was well-rhymed and just lovely all around. Thank you so much for sharing.

The subject is priceless and should give all readers a vision of what a person's value could be. AS I read it though, I kept getting stumped why the repeating whole and soul in the same stanza. Care to share?

    Hi Tom, thanks for bringing that to my attention, I was intending to make those four lines a repeated refrain. I have since made this modification. Jim
