A Poem To Sum Up My Current State Of Health

Published on April 5, 2012 by ruthvandenbroek2 Comments

If you can keep your health when all about you
Are coughing, sneezing and infecting you;
If you can say things loud when others whisper
And use those vocal cords as if they’re new;
If you don’t have to drink honey and lemon
Or blow your nose and feel there is no end
Or gargle lots of tepid, gross salt water
I tell you this, I envy you, my friend!
