Oh, how I wish,
I felt really svelte.
Never have a problem,
Buckling my belt.
The problem maybe,
Water retention.
My use of the salt shaker,
Pay closer attention.
It’s not that I’m that,
Really overweight.
Could lose a few pounds,
And, strengthen my gait.
The battle of the bulge,
For me, hard to win.
In my sincere desire,
And, goal to be thin.
Don’t smoke cigarettes,
Or, at all eat sweets.
Walk twice a day,
Fast paced on my feet.
When I was younger,
It was very easy.
Metabolism, no problem,
Extra pounds didn’t tease me.
But, as I age,
My goal’s good health.
Never be a burden,
That is true wealth.
I’ll get up every day,
After a good night of sleeping,
Find a perfect balance,
Between exercise and eating.
