Chasing away Chubby

Poem in my head!

I woke up this morning bright and early and as I lay on the couch trying to muster the courage to face my day this poem I made up in my head.  Then after it was there it demanded to be put down on paper…er ummm…well in print.  So here are the words resounding in my brain this morning. 

“What I Want…”

What I want for me

To be the healthiest I can be

To learn to run and play

for the entire day,

To run a painted mile,

and do it as I smile,

To learn to walk the stairs,

without a winded care!

I want to walk across the street

and catch a whistle as I meet

people as they leer

“Has she lost weight?”-the words I hear!

 To be proud of who I am,

and not to give a damn,

about how fat I feel or

“when is my next meal?”

 Just to feel young and alive,

and for many years survive,

Happy, healthy, and free,

And loving to be me!
