25 Days of Thanks - Day 5

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I'm not talking about wealth.
I'm talking about my health.
Thank you body for all of these years.
I've gotten by with very little tears.
An occasional back pain or heartburn, yes.
But really I'm not that big of a mess.
I'm still able to see and hear.
Although, it's not always quite clear.
I can smell and yell and walk.
And even get down on all fours and play with chalk.
You still allow me to eat my sweets.
Although now I have to eat an occasional beet.
My body, my health you haven't kept me stressed.
For this I am thankful and quite blessed.
