There’s no doubt that we have to take care of ourselves, so that we may lead happier lives. It won’t be easy, as you must discipline yourself to eat the right foods, exercise, and get enough rest. It’s certainly tough for me, but I’m doing my best to gain the strength to move forward day by day. I wish you the best of luck in doing the same. Enjoy the following poem, which I hope will inspire you to maintain your health.

YOUR HEALTH

Live each day with care,
And take time to smell the fresh air.
Don’t overwork yourself –
Take care of thyself.
Eat the right foods,
For it does affect your moods.
If you have a problem, tell a friend you trust,
For you’ll feel better at the end.
Exercise each day,
In a suitable way.
Get enough sleep,
But don’t oversleep.
Remember that your health,
Is your greatest wealth.

Enjoy the following poem relating to this very topic.

AGE IS BUT A NUMBER

Age is but a number.
It is not an obstacle or barrier;
But it is something which,
Should not really matter.
For the world belongs to anybody who will,
Recognize that now is the time and,
Here is the place to show how you feel.
So regardless of your age,
The world can be yours if,
You take action in every stage.

Life is not perfect, so we may experience challenges that will test our strength. If we open our eyes to the beauty within ourselves, we can free ourselves from worries and conquer the challenges that come our way. I encourage you to often reflect on the beauty of life, as it is a gift from God. Enjoy the following poem, which serves as a reminder that we can all find the way to happiness, despite the road bumps in life.

LET US FIND THE WAY

Let us find the way,
As hard as it may seem.
These fierce emotions I feel,
Are bending and twining me.
I want to be free;
Please let it be--
Can't stand this feeling of melancholy.
As I open my eyes,
I am burdened in deep stings;
That rush through my veins,
Stabbing my heart with no remorse.
Then lo and behold?
I hear those words saying,
"Let us find the way."
Am I hearing right?
Is there really a way to that special light?
A light that shines bright,
Ever so genuine and heavenly-filled.
Lo and behold?
There is such a light!
You grabbed my hand,
You touched my soul,
You touched my heart,
And never did let go.
You told me that we would find that way,
If I could only see within myself,
That a stinging heart is not forever;
For I can be happy--
I can fly freely;
As free as the heavenly angels that fly;
As free as the wind that blows in the air;
As free as the water that runs in our seas.
To be free is to live freely,
Without worries that depress our souls;
We need to see the light and open our minds,
To the beauty embedded within each of us;
For that is the essence that will help us find the way;
The essence of life as it ought to be!
