'What I Don'T Eat Today' Poem by Linda Winchell

Don't eat sugars!
Don't eat starch!
Got to stay fit
to have a healthy, happy heart!

Don't drink coffee!
Don't drink tea!
With all these Don'ts
they're making a better person
I think of me!

Don't smoke!
Don't even drink!
Don't stop out for fast food
I think they all stink!

Try to keep myself active
as active at my age, I can be.
What I don't eat and do today
will prove to make a healthier person of me!

I fill my mind with the Holy Spirit's Love!
And give it to everyone I come to meet!
I tell them about the God I love!
And tell them they too
can lay their burdens at His feet!

They see His glow in my cheeks
and the smile, His love has placed upon my face!
Because what I don't eat and do today
will take my soul and me later to a better place!
