Burning

Falling down makes it hard to get up,

Sometimes life is a half-filled cup,

Staying up till six waiting for answers,

Eating poorly body weak feeling worse,

No exercise we chastise these days of our lives,

Mind goes to waste unread books fill my case,

Moved away from friends and family just lonely,

Then we wake up and realize it's time to get up,

Let's go to sleep early and strengthen our spirit,

Stop repeating these lists and just do it,

We can eat better and strengthen our will,

Breakfast don't skip its most important still,

A little walk here and there strengthen the body,

It raises morale and only has to be done moderately,

Pick up that book to strengthen the mind,

Education in wordplay find time to unwind,

And never forget friends and family strengthen the soul,

Someone to rely on to speak to and keep control,

For without these things life certainly takes it's toll,

Burning our candles at both ends descends down the hole
