We are what we drink, and EAT
That especially as we get older will, determine, our health, happiness, longevity, of how we live, love, and laugh, weather we will be mediocore, unhealthy, weak, or GREAT, VIBRANT, and ELITE

I made a decision very long, long, ago
That never would i smoke, drink, or take any drugs, and put myself down so low

When i was in second grade
When i lost my health, with rheumatic fever, and couldnt even stand, and i had to crawl, that promise to myself for my health i made

But with that victory won
I ate all the fast foods, carbs and sweets, and sodas, with an end to none

So now im back on the right track
And at age sixty, fighting to get my health, and my body shape a back

Up to 404--pounds was--my greatest weight
So here i sit, at 221--and am changing my life, living, and love FATE

For still, liquids only i will consume
And am pushing myself to break the two hundred mark i hope very soon

When solid foods i choose to eat again
Healthy eatting, will be my mission, goal, and quest, with no end

Like a fine tuned jet airplane engine
Only the very best of the best jet fuel, will be used to soar and win

Water has to become my favorite most cherished beverage, to quench my thirst
Thats the most important step, to develop first

Then whole foods organic for sure
Eatting foods without salts, pesticides, and chemicals, root vegetables, grass fed cows, organic, whole foods, fresh, and perfect, and PURE

Sugar, with great moderation
And pure honey,some

Sweets in great moderation
But mayonaise, ketchup, salad dressings, tarter sauce, and fast fatty, fried foods no more not any not none

What we drink and eat
Will cause us great success, or doom, depression, and DEFEAT

So the choice is our own
As we know the consequences of every vice to man that is known

If we want to move, rock and roll, and run, and race for FUN
Make a plan, and set short realistic, doable goals, and your battle can be conquered and WON
