The Sun

Pills and potions
Ointment and lotions
Don't always do the trick
We swallow them to feel better
But they can make us feel sick.

Sick and ill
Drugs that can kill
Are taken every day
Would we feel any better?
If we throw this medicine away.

And try to do without them,
Except for the necessary ones,
And make an effort
To appreciate nature and the sun,

Sunshine is healing
It makes one feel good to be alive
A relaxed and happy feeling
Whelms up inside

All your illnesses or concerns
Become secondary for a while
As the sun is shining bright
And so is your smile.

Sunshine warms the soul. It works for me, I'll tell you. Nicely penned, Shirley, and 'stay sunny inside' too! Sunlight and Warmth, Gershon
