7 Poems About Health

1. Health Be Yours
   Poet: Unknown
   
   Hence, kindly wish, fly away, fly away,
   Find me the one I think of today!

2. Your Mental Health
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Our mental health is just as important
   As our physical, it's true
   To stay positive and healthy,
   Know what it is you must do
   
   Talk to someone and share,
   Get that weight off your chest
   Take time away from stress,
   Have a good rest.
   
   Your attitude must be positive
   For mental health to be good
   Be mindful and aware of problems
   And deal with them as you should.
   
   It may take effort each day
   But the result is worth it all
   Pay attention to your emotional well-being,
   Don't let yourself fall!

3. Little Things
   Poet: Charles W. Stevenson
   
   Here's to the one who loves to do
   The little things of life,
   Who lets no large ambition woo
   Him into worldly strife;
   A kindly man content to work
   At any useful task,
   Who has no duties he would shirk,
   No favors he would ask.
   
   Here's to the man, where'er he be!
   And O, Thou gentle One,
   Remember, in Thy ministry,
   The good that he has done,
   The happy words, the helpful deeds,
   So tender and so true!
   For those who have no selfish needs,
   Alas, are all too few.
   
   Ah, he who takes a humble part,
   In trade, in church, in state,
   And lets no envy fill his heart
   With hatred for the great,
   Can watch the wheel of fortune roll
   Its luckless favors out,
   Conscious that he has won his soul
   Who conquers care and doubt.
   
   This health to him! - who learns to feel
   That little things in life
   Make up the best of human weal,
   The worst of human strife;
   Who hides his anger in a smile,
   His worry in good cheer,
   And lives without a trace of guile,
   And dies without a fear!

4. Stress Can Drain
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Stress can take its toll
   On your health - mind, body, and soul.
   
   It can leave you feeling drained
   Your will and vigor waned.
   
   You may feel overwhelmed and down
   But try a smile rather than a frown.
   
   With deep breaths of meditation, exercise, and more
   Do what works to relieve stress and maintain your core.

5. Drink Me A Health
   Poet: Unknown
   
   April, cold with dropping rain,
   Bring the lilacs back again.
   Whistle of returning buds
   Trumpet lowing of the herds!
   
   Newer life and fuller love.
   Bring it, April, from above.
   I wish it were summer
   With roses a-bloom -
   
   Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Heigh-hey! -
   That lilies would open
   Their cups of perfume.
   And drink me a health to-day.

7. Life's Bill Of Fare
   Poet: Edgar A. Guest
   
   Enough to eat, a time for play,
   And clothes to keep the wind away;
   At night a place to go to rest,
   And health and strength for every test.
   What more than these doth life contain?
   Then why this constant strife for gain?
   
   What more has king or prince today,
   Or he, three times a millionaire,
   Than food to eat and hours for play,
   A place to sleep and clothes to wear?
   Sum up life's favors as you will,
   It is for these we fight and kill.
   
   And he three times a millionaire,
   And he upon the heights sublime,
   Like you and me, can only wear
   One suit of clothing at a time,
   Once satisfy his appetite,
   Then richest foods mean no delight.
   
   And so, if you have these, I say,
   Envy no man his hoarded store;
   Contented, journey on your way,
   You will not happier be with more.
   Enough to eat, some clothes to wear,
   A place to sleep - life's bill of fare.
