The Soothing Rain
A Little Under The Weather
A touch of a cold
A sniffle and sore throat
Don't forget that nagging cough
All are common in our lives
Feeling not your chipper self
Shake that feeling
I convinced myself long ago
I don't get sick
There were only three times in the past thirty years that have knocked me off my feet
I try to exercise and eat healthy
God has blessed me
So many people struggle day to day with health issues
I don't know what it is like
Occasionally I get a three day sample
Then by the fourth day I am ready to take on the world
What a great feeling it is to be healthy
In many ways I consider it to be wealthy
No amount of money can make ill health go away
Medicine and drugs can keep it at bay
While doctors fix the problem and search for a cure
Unless your body is healthy
Your poor health will return
So today I listen to the sound of rain hitting against the side window of my home
Thinking with each rain drop
Wouldn't it be nice
To wash away all the problems people have
Either a medical problem or sickness
Why stop there
Mental or any problem that plagues the body and mind
Some how I think it wouldn't be long
Before man decides life is too easy
So they would create
Something so sad
That would leave us sick and unhappy once again
Then one day we will ponder
What have we done ?
We have created our own monster
One we can never conquer
