A Small Weight Difference
I think that salt's addiction missed the most,
Its calories of no import
But Lord its cost I swear is high.
In later years we look for ways to coast
But soft drinks tend to make us sport
Such weighty problems plague the eye!
Weight climbed the slope to unknown turpitude
My feet were shamed and out of sight!
There wasn't much to do but cry!
I found it hard to take the altitude,
To tie my shoes a frequent plight,
And back pain often brokered sigh!
I used to think a meal’s a fine reward
For doing what folks paid me to,
But now my work is how I play!
And Love's the path that strikes the sweetest chord
For poetry is all I do,
It's how I start and end each day!
When what you eat is what your spirit loves
Your weight, your wealth, will fall in line!
It's not just words, or goals that rhyme.
You'll know! When ‘purpose’ fits your hands like gloves
Then life will be your Valentine,
And Love the way you spend your time!
