Mind Over Matter
Mind Over Matter
I got word that my niece was ill and needed to be rushed to the hospital. I wonder why rush, you go to the hospital and then you wait in line for over 10 hours, some people even longer. Is the rush only to secure your place in line? If it is then maybe the line should start from the time they recorded your emergency. Maybe then it would justify the ambulance spending 15 minutes at here home collecting information. I wrote this poem as I waited reflecting on my own illness.
Maybe you’ll find this a useful tip
I’ve taken a saying and made a flip
No pain no gain and mind over matter
Don’t even touch what I now capture
Our lives are made up of mind, body and soul
Vying for supremacy in young and old
Exercise strengthens the body but not the mind
Righteousness nourishes the soul and now I find
Mind speaks to soul and body too
A healthy soul tells the mind what the body should do
Told that in weakness God’s strength is made perfect
Then the weaker the body the stronger the spirit
Enriching your life by nourishing your soul
Reaps a mind and a body as pure as gold
