Exercise

Leap..jump...run,
Bend...bow...kneel,
Touch your toes - shake your foot,
Skip...walk...dance,
Exercise is good for you.

Climb a hill,
Climb a staircase,
Raise your arms,
Try the unusual swarts,
Exercise the stress away.

Mowing the lawn,
Watering the plants,
Picking the fallen leaves,
Riding a bicycle,
That's all good sweat from exercise.

Nothing fancy but consistent,
Nothing so intense but practical,
Nothing expensive but worth the effort,
Nothing sluggish but amiable,
Exercise is good for you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
