Happy Healing Poetry

Daily words of hope & inspiration

A little hope for today

June 14

I could eat for England,

And drink for her as well,

But if I take too much in,

My body will pain and swell;

I need to have restraint,

To have inner discipline,

To eat enough for life,

And that way stay healthy and slim.

“I have so much to do that I must spend several hours in prayer before I am able to do it.”                  JOHN WESLEY.

Food is very tempting,

But I can over-indulge,

If I eat too much,

My size and weight will bulge;

But if I eat sensibly,

Taking in enough for body and soul,

Then God willing I'll remain healthy,

To find my divine inner goal.

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.” ARISTOTLE.

When I smell a rose,

It brings joy to my nose,

To have them all around,

Gives me happy repose;

To sit in a garden,

On a bright summer night,

Brings joy to my spirit,

It is pure delight.

"Nowhere can man find a quiter place or untroubled retreat than in his own soul."  MARCUS AURELIUS.

I have a sex-impulse,

I have a sex-drive,

But the more I can control it, 

The longer I'm alive; 

It's there for procreation,

I must remember this fact,

And not to lustful thoughts,

Hastily react.

"Be ever ready to serve. Loose no opportuity." SIVANANDA.
