Health
It’s our treasure
Waiting for the doors to open
The heart of immunity to soften
Invaders pretending to play dead
Wake up and quickly spread
As they feed on the riches within
Pomp and show wear thin
Laying bare our weakness
As we battle the sickness
It is both in body and mind
They are closely aligned
The body fights, the mind retreats
Too proud to accept new defeats
The mind can be an ally
When it turns its ability to defy
Any invasion of privacy
Restoring health’s primacy
Infusing the freshness of dawn
Adding to the body’s brawn
The mind becomes a key element
When the body’s a sick tenement
Healing asks, we give it time
Promising to restore us to our prime
We play an indispensable part
By holding onto hope from the start
Health will open its doors
When the mind does its chores
Cleaning up leftover fragments
Of thoughts, upsetting our balance
