The Real Wealth
We become aware and care for our health
When some illness grips and makes us pale
When at ease we least bother about dis-ease
And carry ourselves with a baffling unease.
It is good health that keeps us moving forward
Help pursue our aspirations with ardour worthy
And realize dreams by scaling the heights lofty
But for health all things achievable stay murky.
All luxuries under the Sun become worthless
When the physical apparatus becomes useless
If one is not fit and healthy, all things collapse
Thus it is health, which is the authentic wealth.
