Health Is Wealth Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Health Is Wealth

Rating: 5.0


People milling in the hospital lobby
Each with their own concern
Some are waiting outside the laboratory
Others lining in the pharmacy

Health issues is everyone's concern
When sickness strike it does not exempt
Young or old, rich or poor alike
Anyone can fall victim to a disease

When one's health is down you cannot do anything
When sickness knocks, you fall into his hands
Prevention is better than a cure they say
When disease claim your life money gives no guarantee

What good is your money when your health is not good
You can't enjoy the simple joys like eating your favorite food
True is the saying that 'Health is wealth'
When you are healthy you have the best of wealth
