Your Health Is Your Wealth

In our world, people seek wealth travelling to find it in many a place many ideas are thrown about for chance taking them up giving it a happy face Financial gain so many think ace but gold and silver burn hole in pocket for the things one buys doesn't satisfy might as well send it up in a rocket So what really is real true wealth? the answer surely is good health think on your body, how it all works thousands of cells all so precise in detail When you're well it's all so amazing but sometimes it breaks down in pain causing you to cry help, get me repaired that mostly works but at times no gain Eventually, we break down for good no breath comes out for it's your last remember all the good health you've had be grateful for now your die's been cast ('It is health which is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.') - Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

So true are your words Gordon, good health is everything and if you're healthy you're wealthy. People forget that not one penny will they take when their time comes. Enjoy the weekend. Tom.
