Body, mind, and spirit shine bright, Performing well, with all their might, With FOODS consumed that nourish deep, Gulping WATER quite well to sleep. MOVING LIMBS in a gentle sway, Heralds start of a bright new day, Exposing oneself to SUNSHINE, Confers nature`s health aids in kind. Pursuing a TEMPERATE course Reins in one`s inner untrained horse, Inhaling fresh AIR, nature`s gift, Prevents our health running adrift. A healthy soul is surely blest When hard work, coupled with some REST, Is allied with full TRUST IN GOD And prayers that one needs afford.
