Sum of My Parts


Mouth holds the most speaking.

Heart holds the most feeling.

Eyes hold the most seeing,

seeing holds the most believing.

 

I hold them all

I carry them inside.

 

Words hold the most meaning

Thoughts hold the most screaming.

Hands hold the most reaching

Reaching holds the most dreaming.

 

I hold them all

I carry them inside.

 

I hold the sum of my parts,

And the sum of my parts makes me

Whole.
