Eight Secrets

.

I know eight little secrets

That you should know as well;

I haven’t promised not to,

So, if you listen, I will tell.

.

The first One is to eat good food;

Leave fast food out of diet.

Enjoy your vegetables, grains and fruit.

It’s healthy; Why not try it?

.

Don’t take into your body,

Anything not good for you,

Too much coffee, tea, no tobacco;

This is secret number Two!

.

Bicycling, swimming, or walking,

Can give you sweet surprises.

Number Three, keep fit and healthy

With moderate exercises.

.

Good fresh air is secret Four

Fresh air �" day and night.

Related to that is number Five,

Our bodies need sunlight.

.

Water is truly important too,

In the life of everyone.

We should drink eight whole glasses

Before the day is done.

.

Water inside and outside

‘Cause baths are significant too;

For if cleanliness is next to Godliness,

Number Six is surely true.

.

Set aside some time each morning

To talk to God a while.

He will help you face each problem

And tackle it with a smile.

.

That was secret number Seven.

Number Eight is plenty of rest,

And if you live by these eight secrets

You’ll be living at your best!

.

God has promised in his word

That being healthy is this simple.

If we are consistent in all things

He can abide inside our temple.

.
