A Motivating Poem for Your Consideration..

Okay, I guess one can blog too much - but I couldn’t wait to post the poem I wrote this morning.  I thought it might give someone out there motivation, or at least a laugh or 2.Continuned good health to us all!  Dianna

A poem, for your consideration (based upon the classic – The Raven, by Edgar Allan Poe)

THE RAVING (Of a Serial Dieter)

Once upon a mid-night dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,

Over exercise web sites and cook books galore,

 I was trying to diet, but it was becoming a bore.

I thought to myself, this is not a life – I want something more.                                   

   Only good health and nothing more.

 Oh how I can remember, it was a cold dark December,

When I once again committed to do something I admitted,

Was quite possibly the hardest thing I had ever tried to date.

I wanted this so badly, and would no longer wait sadly. 

                           I wanted only good health and nothing more. 

So I sat and wrote out goals that I hoped would heal my soul,

And I signed up for a web site that I prayed with all my might,

Would help me to accomplish something I needed dearly to continue with my life.

An answer to my prayers? We’d see - I’ll help them if they help me.               

 We all want good health and nothing more. 

I reached out for some others, though if I’d have had my druthers,

I ‘d be snacking happily until a junk food coma claimed my life.

But that’s not what I wanted, these past few years I have been haunted,

How I need to claim good health, before I die before my time.                         

 Still seeking good health and nothing more.  

So I make a new commitment, to a diet and good fitness

And I hope to get my friends to join me in this brand new life.

For we’re all in this together, same birds with different feathers,

All we want is to live healthy and continue with our life.                        

  To good health for all and nothing more!
