Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

BODY AILS YET SPIRIT STILL SOARS

BODY AILS  … YET SPIRIT SOARS

You’d think I’d rattle when I walk,
I’ve pills of this and that.
Some make me feel even sicker,
others warned … make me fat.

Take “Viagra” for rare PH,
Lung-Heart rare illness pill.
Several for other organs, fact
one-third kidney’s … no thrill.

If, drink more water for kidney,
Heart Failure might affect.
Most minds tell folks, “breath”, with “Central 
Apnea “ … mine forgets.

When stand, high-blood pressure drops low,
ninety-five / fifty five.
Body ails, yet spirit still soars,
grateful … I’m still alive!

Fact take twenty pills is is not bad,
gotta take to stay well.
But wonder, if Doc’s took these, they'd
feel better … or like -ell?

Won’t fuss about number of pills,
for this, and this, and that.
Thankful have all these, or I might,
just fall down dead … splat!
