A Healthy Body, A Healthy Mind Poem by Crisanta Liu

Look at the children as they grow,
Different life stages they undergo,
Internal, external changes show,
How wonderful it is to know.

For a child to have a healthy body,
Awareness, a must, for Mommy and Daddy,
The food he eats in a group of three,
Go, Glow, Grow for him is free.

On the do’s and don’ts inform the young,
On what to do on what to think,
Start everything with a bang,
No waste of time, all will sink.

When evil thoughts enter one’s mind,
Just pray to God and one will find,
The right weapon is He alone,
He’ll protect the brains your children own.

Even for a day once the body is neglected,
Strength and alertness surely prevented,
Even for a day once thoughts are unattended,
Righteous thinking quite affected.

Eat and think what is right,
Tell the child to do with might,
A healthy life, an abundant life,
A child should have day and night.
