Who says?


"Who tells me where to see?" The eyes ask.

"I do." Says the mind.

 

"Who tells me how to move?" The legs ask.

"I do." Says the mind.

 

"Who tells me what to say?" The mouth asks.

"I do." Says the mind.

 

"Who tells me what to grab?" The hands ask.

"I do." Says the mind

 

"Who tells me when to beat?" The heart asks.

"I do." Says the mind.

 

"Who tells me how to breath?" The lungs ask.

"I do." Says the mind

 

"Who tells me how to live?" The body asks.

"I do." Says the mind

 

"But who tells me what to do?" The mind asks.

"I do."
