Health is wealth is an old adage
Take it seriously at an early age
Because having a good health
Is worth more than wealth
Proper diet and physical fitness
Will keep us away from sickness
Healthy thoughts can fuel our desires
Set us free when we're in a quagmire
Becoming mentally and physically fit
They don't just come in a medical kit
What we need without reservation
Constant work-out, hours of devotion
The hourglass is running out of sand
As the lonely sunset seems out of hand
Multi-vitamins and herbal remedy
May help, but not necessarily mentally
Healthy thoughts and a physically sound body
Will do wonders for everyone not just anybody
What are you waiting for, let's start a regimen
Proper diet and exercise to maintain acumen
Living healthy is living well
Living well is forever living…
