Oh God, please heal us by what-ever means 

you want, be that exchanging these bodies

for indestructible ones, or redeem 

some systems, parts, or processes of these.

We mean, we'll trust your choice. Though often-times

it's true if we can't see where things lead to,

we fret and fuss and panic, not sublime

scintillating grateful trust in you.

That's where we need a heart of flesh, not stone,

to pump the life-blood of your love around,

and draw our mind and heart back to their home,

to GOD - most treasured friend and partner found.

Well, he'll do what is best. Our job's to trust

and still be open 'bout our needs and wants.

And make request to God, as we from dust

become aware. Not all kids are savants.

We'll do the best we can, and won't compare

with others - what they have & how they grow.

And learn to see the good around us where

it is, and when it comes to us, to show

our gratefulness, some way appropriate

to what the gift is and to how 'twas gi'en.

Oh God, the gracious giver who we set

as sounce of all the GOOD come down from hea'en.

And part of your great gift.. More like "the whole"

is that you give your self to us to be

our partner, as a brain's halves share one soul

or "nephesh"/ neck*, that makes for one body!

*  soul or "nephesh"/ neck, the Hebrew word for "soul", with distinctives, though often translated into Greek as ψυχῆ (pseuchē) (e.g. Deut 6:5 LXX, Mk 12:30 SBLG)
