Sometimes life is too many steps ahead
Of my heart, my body and my mind.

Of my heart, my body and my mind.

I am typing this poem using Word Perfect,
Submitted to WordChimes via the worldwide internet.

Of my heart, my body and my mind.

My Bible is still a joy and pleasure to read,
I think of its truth even as I type on these keys.

When life is far too many steps ahead
Of my heart, my body and my mind.
