Health

God's greatest gift to humanity is health
It can be considered as the mother of wealth

Without a  sound health life becomes tiresome
Care for it before our condition turns out awesome

Spare no effort to remain healthy
Sickness means much expenditure even if we are not wealthy

Staying hale and hearty is a  precious treasure
The secret of well being depends on several measures

Early to sleep, early to rise
Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise

Continuous physical exercises and good living habits
Are essentials requisites to keep forever fit

Alongside with prayers and meditation
Man will surely attain salvation

Oh! youth of today, stop this artificial living
Substance abuse will destroy everything

If you damage your health
Eventually it will lead you to death

For when wealth is gone
Nothing is gone

But when health is gone
Everything is gone

It's only when health is lost
We tend to value it the most
