Thank you, Father,
for ears to hear the
cacophonous symphony
of your amazing world;
each ear catches sound
and plays its own drum,
as tiny hammer, anvil
and stirrup ossicles
vibrate liquid waves
through spiraled cochlea
where hair receptors translate
electrical impulse to brain,
recognizing robin’s song
Blessed are you, great Designer!
Thank you, Father
for eyes to see the
panoramic kaleidoscope
of your amazing world;
each eye catches light
and refracts it through
pupil and lens aperture
as it passes through
vitreous humour jelly
to focus image on retina
where photoreceptors
translate electrical impulse
to brain by optic nerve,
recognizing child’s face.
Blessed are you, mighty Creator!

Gosh yes! Our creator designed and equipped us as well-oiled-machines. And included a Spirit to light our way.
So grateful for these things we often take for granted. Praise!
Why is it that sometimes we recognize this too late?
… and what lovely words you use here. Thanks for letting me read this.
Be well, Lynn. I bless you.
Merry Christmas. xo

Thank YOU for your comments, Selma. He deserves all the honor and praise! I could go on about tongues, hands, and noses too 🙂 May you know the wonder of Christmas!

So true. It’s a continuation of praises.
What a lovely sentiment. Yes. And you too. I know the wonder of Christmas and do my best to reenact it every day I’m gifted a new day.
May it be Christmas every day. Amen.
