Good Health Rarely Gets Appreciated

I never appreciate my good health
until  I get a disease, illness or infection,
Then I pray and wish and hope to get her back.

She flits away, laughing, for she knows
I never appreciate her when she is here.
I don’t even remember she exists
until I get a disease, illness or infection.

Maybe she has a deal with my body
To upset me every so often, so
I will fleetingly appreciate her for
two seconds when I return to good health.

L Milton Hankins July 27, 2021 at 10:09 AM I sure hope it's nothing terribly serious, Caren. Hope you feel better soon. Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2021 at 2:41 PM I am appreciating good health this week for I do not have it.
