When I see my
reflection
So maybe I could just start.
What do I really
see?
Do it for a week.
A very busy
person
20 minutes around the block
Who takes no time for
me?
Or a bike ride down the street.
A person getting up
early
20 minutes to hear the birds
And going to bed
late,
Or listen to the cricket chirp.
Rushing to get everything
done
20 minutes to clear the mind
And fretting about my
weight?
And not think about my work.
I've thought about
exercise
It doesn't cost much money,
But there's all that
sweat;
No special suit of clothes,
I'm certainly not an
athlete,
And I don't have to pay $100
I hate for my clothes to get
wet.
To protect my heels and toes.
And what if people
laugh?
I just have to get started
And what if it
rains?
To make time just for me
And when would I find
time?
To set my goals each week
And there's that saying: "no PAIN?, no
gain!"
COMMITMENT is the key.
But then...
I'd sure like to feel
better,
Make physical activity a treat.
I'd sure like to smile more,
too;
A special gift to you.
I wish I weren't so
tired,
You'll have a happier mind
And I'd love to lose a pound-or
two.
And a happier body, too.
