Best Stay Healthy Poems
“Each morning is an invaluable gift- To be alive is a boon, to be able to stay healthy is a bonus, to enjoy love and beauty is bliss”- By Poet
Early morn, I wake up from my sleep,
Sensing on my cheeks, dawn’s first gentle kiss.
As the shroud of gloom is lifted off from earth’s face,
In my heart rises sweet whispers of bliss.
Yesterday’s mistakes, gone like vaporous nothings.
A calming peace gently overpowers my soul.
The air is crisp, quiet and pleasantly still.
The morn opens new scenes and vistas whole.
Flowers gently sway in the passing breeze.
Bees buzz around, not giving rest to tiny wings.
Coloured confetti fall from the Gulmohar tree.
Butterflies flit around as my soul in joy, sings.
Remember, how lucky we are to see another sunrise,
To savour what nature offers as an inestimable prize!
My personal physician
says I’m the picture of perfect health
Then he hands me the pharmaceutic scripts
Dr. Miyagi
makes me wonder sometimes,
if he’s a paid health insurance company shill
Seeing how there’s fifty bottles of medicine
on my monthly HMO bill
Metformin
Deseryl
Glyburide
Lisinopril
Every day the bottles say,
I gotta take fifty pills
But the side effects will give you deadly cold chills
Nausea,
diarrhea
Constipation,
insomnia
Me keeping well
is profitable to somebody I can tell
Just pop open the caps,
and watch your thoughts congeal
Bactrim
Gabapentin
Amneal
Indomethacin
Taking fifty pills is waking zombie time
My staying well feels like being sentenced
to a life imprisonment crime
Always feeling sick just to stay healthy,
going to sleep is the only time I feel good
So, I bequeath this advice in my will:
if you wanna die painfully slow, then take fifty pills
Most of us fear getting old nowadays,
we try everything to help stay healthy;
thinking immortality might be fun,
we eat well, exercise, consult doctors.
But, aging is just a part of living,
we started the moment of our birth;
yet some of us were born with an old soul,
and that's exactly what happened to me.
Since a little girl I have just seemed old,
well, at least had a beautiful old soul;
that's what all my family always said,
oh yes, they said that girl has an old soul.
My skin is not baby smooth anymore,
and bones creak a little now and again;
my hair is not that of a young woman,
yet, my physical beauty seems frozen.
For there is inner beauty shining bright,
with deep inner knowledge beyond my years;
I have old ears for slow nostalgic tunes,
appreciating quiet, mindful time.
Oh, I am the epitome of calm,
I have no interest in the fashion crazes;
loving vintage and interesting instead,
because my grandma said- I was born old.

The herb
A plant of richness
To understand
the mystery of the herb
Is the source of good health
Oh I love the herb
Give me the herb and
let me dance with a long life
The herb
To understand
The mystery of the herb
Is a natural blessing to life
The herb is a gift from nature
Like a rainbow full of colours
The herb grow in deferents colours
Some are red,green, purple, white,
On and on
In defferent shapes
and size they are found
it defers in flavour and smells
Oh I love the herb
a gift of nature
The herb
To understand
the mystery of the herb
Is like a divine grace
It cure strange illness
It help to strengthen
the weak bones
It protect the surface of the skin
From skins infection
It washes away all pollution
In the body
It improve life in a heavy way
How can you stay healthy
with out the herb
Oh I love the herb
a gift from nature
The herb
You can cook the herb
You can eat the herb
You can apply it like
a cream on a cut
The water of the herb
Is like GOD water
It so powerful in protecting you
From stress and sick beds
Oh I love the herb
a gift from nature
The herb
To understand
the mystery of the herb
Now in our generation is rare
As we advance
With out moral values any more
All we do are just to civilisation
Always in a rush to hear from the medical
As we keep depending
On morden day medication
We should not forget
The miraculous mystery
Of
The herb.
I thought I would do a Rhyme in Rap.
Even though I find that kind of music Crap.
I am just a normal type of guy.
I wont forever ever lie.
Because that's not who I am.
I am a one woman man.
I have brown hair and deep blue eyes.
What you get with me is the beauty inside.
I wont hide my life from you I will tell only the truth.
I love all life all animals especially cats.
I don't go to a gym but I walk to stay healthy.
I may not be rich but in love I am wealthy.
What you see isn't what you get.
Because I am so much better than that.
I will rock your world because a boat is small..
While some may give you some?
I will always give you my all.
Life will be so much fun.
your back will never be against a wall.
For you my love I will always be on the ball.
You always take my breath away.
Make my heart pound faster.
Your the only one. I will always run after.
You are the goddess the queen of my life.
Maybe that's why so many men want you as a wife.
Your kisses are like heaven.
You are an angel without wings.
God made you to be all of the things.
That men want to cherish to honour to love.
How I danced and I sang when I saw your tooth was loose!
So long I had waited for your pretty tooth.
Many children have given me lots of their teeth,
But by far, yours is the most pretty that I have ever seen.
I’m so happy that you brush your teeth with such care,
When you give them to me I know that it is because of your love for me that you
share.
Your teeth become so shiny with each scrub of the tooth brush,
That I can see them under your pillow when I come in the night
I do not even need star light because your teeth are so shiny and bright.
Thank you for pulling your tooth while being so very brave my dear,
I do not like it when you cry your precious little tears.
You are such a big girl and a pretty one as well,
I am so very lucky to have your tooth, it is swell.
Remember to brush and to floss everyday,
And I shall return when your next tooth under your pillow hides away.
Remember how important it is to not have too many sweets,
Because too many sweets puts black holes in your teeth.
Flossing and brushing and going to see the desist on time,
Will ensure that your teeth stay healthy and theywill shine.
Candy and sodas are bad for your teeth and your gums,
Remember to only have a little whenever you want some!
Love,
The Tooth Fairy
~ As We Walk ~
( Free Verse )
~O~
Within us, all is shown with kindness,
And hopes, to catch a little scent,
As memories, of home unfold;
And dusts, my lovely thoughts, with frost...
o~ O ~o
In icy pause, the winter's nights,
With choices, that sometimes, were so wrought,
Too many words, that went unsaid,
As I rush, through another day.
o~ O ~o
Before all we know, life had slipped away,
We whine, we moan, and cry, in so much pain;
A void so confused, to fill us all,
With ink of black, and white of snow.

Homely Appeasements
'You are what you eat', say the dieticians!
There is no escape from gormandising
I'm a foodie! It's aroma inflates my spirits
I once tasted garlic cottage cheese curry
In my dream, and my restive spirits unruffled
The next day for gastronomical delights to perfection
Home made bread, nicely buttered is a soul comforter
Especially when it sandwiches cheese on garden fresh lettuce
A serving of fruit yogurt calms my high tensed nerves
Another breakfasty delight is the aroma of salted butter
When two yolked eggs are fried together, they smile on
Warm toasts garnished with lemony herbs and sausages
Lunch I can binge on mangoes, my favourite fruit
I remember my granny warning me in childhood
Of having far too many alphonsos, but I couldn't be appeased
As week after week they tempted me on their arrival in baskets
From the botanical gardens, a tradition that continues till today
Grandpa winked, 'Enjoy the king of fruits to stay healthy!'
Fruity salads with tenderly roasted chicken for dinner
Is incomplete without soufflés, puddings or desserts
I'm happiest rustling up new dishes and relish my concoctions
If invited out I gorge on the aroma of warmth and fondness
With which the loving hostess has arrayed her heavenly cuisine
Cinnamony coffee, hot or cold anytime synergises me for a bouncy day

Contest- I Love Food
Cabbie with A Heart
This latest news about a selfless taxi driver…
The kindness out of his heart is a source for wonder ….
In the daily business of ferrying his charges for a fee…
He works long hours , morning till dusk before going off free ….
As a family man like any other, he provides for his family with his daily takings..…
Time is ever precious, more ferrying means better daily earnings…
Just as any other hard working Malaysian, he always there to give service…
Doing his utmost best each day in providing a transportation service…
For a working man such as he, where time and his service means money…
It surprises to know this taxi driver willingly sacrifices his time and money….
All for an aged yet loving couple, who are yet to be classified as senior citizens..
Who are only in their late forties and yet the woman has chronic kidney disease…
This stricken woman requires a thrice-a-week treatment at the dialysis center….
The fare is an exorbitant RM30 to pay even if the center is but a short drive away
It is always a trying time to hail for a taxi willing to take them to the center..
For the word is out that they are unable to pay the full fare, even not at all..
One fine day, as they scoured in vain for a taxi to take them to the center..…
Up came Mr Jong, an elderly and sprightly taximan, willing to ferry them over…
The kind hearted soul in him accepts only RM20 for his service, if possible..
He’s such a good man, giving discounted rides and payments in installments..
Taxi driver Jong, 61 years old, thinks he is doing something simple…
Out of the goodness in his heart, he is now on their call three times-a-week…
It matters not, Jong wisely observes, I am Chinese and they are Malays in need…
God willing, I will stay healthy and I trust them to pay me when they able indeed..
So fellow Malaysians, do marvel at this display of humanity on the streets…
There are countless other good deeds being played out that are not called to heed…
But this episode runs contrary to the prejudices and the mistrust on racial lines..
It calls for brotherhood love, as the same colored blood runs common beneath our skins..

First of all, it’s a big responsibility,
especially in a city like Jacksonville, or Philadelphia, or wherever really.
So think long and hard before deciding on love.
On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security:
when you’re walking down the street late at night
and you have a leash on love
ain’t no one going to mess with you.
Because crooks and muggers think love is
unpredictable.
Who knows what love could do in its own defense?
Broken glass bottles.
On cold winter nights, love is warm.
It lies between you and lives and breathes
and makes funny noises.
Love wakes you up all hours of the night with its needs.
It needs to be fed so it will grow and stay healthy.
Love doesn’t like being left alone for long.
But come home and love is always happy to see you.
It may break a few things accidentally in its passion for life,
but you can never be mad at love for long.
Is love good all the time? No! No!
Love can be bad. Bad, love, bad! Very bad love.
Love makes messes.
Love leaves you little surprises here and there.
Love needs lots of cleaning up after.
Somethimes you just want to get love fixed.
Sometimes you want to roll up a piece of newspaper
and swat love on the nose,
not so much to cause pain,
just to let love know “Don’t you ever do that again!”
Sometimes love just wants to go out for a nice long walk.
Because love loves exercise. It will run you around the block
and leave you panting, breathless. Pull you in different directions
at once, or wind itself around and around you
until you’re all wound up and you cannot move.
But love makes you meet people wherever you go.
People who have nothing in common but love
stop and talk to each other on the street.
Throw things away and love will bring them back,
again, and again, and again.
But most of all, love needs love, lots of it.
And in return, love loves you and never stops.
Everyone thinks since i smile
that everything is good
no one knows its been a while
since i last had good food.
I live in a good neighborhood
My neighbors, all quite wealthy
just snacking when i could
and trying to stay healthy
everytime you go to school
your stomach starts to rumble
always looking like a fool
when you trip and stumble.
i know what its like to feel sick
the fuzz that passes through your brain
people acting like a prick
not knowing your in pain.
i go to school like normal
i tell no one of my issues
no need to make it formal
i just grab a few more tissues.
you may not even notice me
im just your everyday dumb teen
you cant see what i see
or know where i have been.
i go to school each day
and go to work each night
working for my pay
so i can grab another bite.
we go to homeless dinners
and i feel my heart clench tight
not feeling like the winner
should i really have to fight?
so now i lay my head
and dream of a full tummy
and as i lay in bed
i dream of yummy yummies.
Thirty Five
At thirty five I am starting hear,
That old age will soon be here.
The wolf whistles,stares and male conversation,
Are now friendly comments and admiration.
"Don't you look good for someone your age!"
This compliment is all the rage.
Comments of beauty,intelligence and fine figure,
Have been replaced with "How's the kids?" and "Lovely weather."
In younger years,when all dressed up looking smart,
My husband would drool and nice compliments would start.
How proud he was to show me off to his mates,
But now no comment except "Hurry up we will be late."
The mirror shows signs of the years going by,
The wrinkles,blemishes and crows feet don't lie.
At thirty seven,my husband is now going bald,
"Distuinguished looking,"he says it is called.
In the companyy of attractive women my husband will flirt,
If only he knew how much it does hurt.
No more does he buy me presents or take me out on a date,
Instead on a Friday its down to the pub with his mates.
If I feel like this now at the age of thirty five,
What hope is there left,how will i survive.
As a mother,a Registered Nurse and a wife,
This combination has me speeding through life.
So how do I slow down the course of time?
Or learn to age gracefully,one day at a time.
The meaning of life is a question we all ask,
And everyone's here to complete some sort of task.
As depressed as I feel about growing old,
Stay healthy and active is the advice I've been told.
Take each day as it comes and try your best,
Advancing through life is the ultimate test.
A lesson to be learnt that is comparitively small,
Is if you can't say anything nice,say nothing at all.
Despite all the negative comments about appearance and age,
Each day is another chapter so just turn the page.
One day a handsome prince will come and take me away,
So I will sit here drinking coffee and begin to pray.
One hopes he will come and rescue me sometime soon,
Before the wrinkles set in and i resemble a prune!
.

Vaping Ain’t Worth The Risks
To vape or not to vape, perhaps say the venerated Shakespeare …
If only he were alive this day , he might also got to make a choice…
Back in his Victorian times, it was probably just tobacco and pipes …
What is obvious is this human weakness is still spread far and wide..
There are those who smoke, merrily they puff away..
Nary a worry at all what others might do or say…
It is their smokers’ rights, they puff in reply…
Should you ever glare or glower at this lifestyle…
There are those who choose not to smoke in earnest…
These are the ones who are in awe of their conscience…
They are well aware of the many horrifying pictures…
Amply displayed on the outside of every pack of ciggies…
The cigarettes companies, giants in their chosen industry…
Well aware of the changing trends, funded research for alternatives..
E cigarettes, puff away uninhibited, it is like the real thing…
Not to worry, it is healthy, it can be nicotine free…
Decades later, today we see this boom in e cigarettes….
Only now it is repackaged to sound more appealing…
Vape gadgets, sophisticated little electronic gadgets..
And a multitude of different flavours to fit all kind of budgets…
Hear ye, hear all, this is the latest smoking fad in the market..
No, my dear brethren, it is no longer smoking, that’s so passe..
Welcome to vaping, it is chic and it is cool, what’s your flavour…
No it is safe, in Malaysia, there is no regulatory restrictions whatsoever…
Pray, to those who do worry what they puff in before they exhale..
Kindly go through the articles below and pray, be firm and say nay…
Smoking or vaping, it is just the same evil in different packaging…
Stay healthy, live free and easy, and enjoy life by not doing vaping….
