From Head to Toe, 20



Head to Toe:
Boning Up on the Bones of the Body

Spine (b): thoracic bones

The longest segment of the spine—
I’m really glad that I have mine!
Thoracic vertebrae we need
To keep upstanding—all agreed?

My mother used to counsel me—
To watch my posture—“You will see,”
She said those many years ago,
“How it will help you as you grow.”

And she was right—as moms have been
Since Eve and Adam fell in sin.
A mother’s wisdom—there’s no price
That we can place on her advice.
