Air, Water, Food, & Love

Deep breath in;

Deep breath out.

Through yer lungs,

Then all about:

To yer heart,

Feet & hair.

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Air.

Splish-splash in;

Splish-splash out.

Swallow some;

Twist & shout.

Swim around

Like an Otter.

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Water.

Stir it up;

Take a munch:

Some for breakfast;

Some for lunch.

Chew it well;

Swallow good.

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Food.

Nestle down

On your bed.

Rest your body,

Arms & head.

Say yer prayers.

(“My soul to keep”)

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Sleep.

Hug yer Mama

& yer Dad.

Grandma, Grandpa,

Friends you’ve had.

Re-connect with

Birds & Blokes.

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Folks.

Ponder fondness

& affection;

Hugs & Kisses,

Introspection.

Deep emotions

Soar above:

Ob-vi-ous-ly,

We need Love.
