Looking after health

Such a dichotomy I find 

You look after yourself first 

Then beat yourself up next, especially when you are blind.

The human body is a vessel facing defeat

Yet through God’s balance to learn to retreat.

You go to the gym

Or have a job to make you fit,

Then you go to the pub and lose your inhibitions,

And wake up the next day with constant contradictions.

We have all done it

This is not a dig?

You sometimes enter into a deserted place 

And wonder how you got there through an embrace.

Be kind to your body 

But give it a healthy challenge too,

As long as you pray while you exhort that strain

There is blessings inside of you, where we look to sustain.
