Healthy Senior

HEALTHY SENIOR My mother used to feed me to grow up big and strong Cauliflower and broccoli, some foods that taste so wrong How could anyone believe that vegetables could be so good Especially when there was sugar in all my favorite food Should have listened to my mother, the words keep haunting me One look in the mirror and it’s scary what I see So I’m eating all my veggies and foods that are whole My portions are no bigger than can fit into a bowl I bought some shoes for walking and do it every day And joined a club for fitness when cold weather comes our way If I continue on this journey it should come as no surprise That by the time I am a hundred, I’ll be my perfect size
