My Daily Constitutional

Every week day, I walk at least one mile
Often I push it up to two or more.
The mood strikes me and I'm off with a smile. 

I always start by walking out the door;
taking steps with care, I never trample.
Keeping in shape and I love to explore.

Some days, I just wander, for example,
new homes, new streets, new pets, new folks to meet.
Tasting the locals just for a sample.

At my church garden bench, I take a seat; 
sometimes, I must stop and get off my feet.
