The Thing, The Pet, The Friend

a random poem about health

It is the thing
that makes you sigh
you have to take care of it
foot, heart, skin, and eye

It is the pet
you need to keep
if it runs away
your family weeps

Health is the friend
you too often forget
you get out of touch
then it’s hard to reset

But health is forgiving
it’ll give you some slack
with some sweat and love
you can bring it back
