Prayer for Perfect Health

I pray for those getting ill
as the weather starts to chill
but most colds are mental
so don’t depend on that pill
address the root cause
not the symptoms that you feel
before the Tylenol
there were healthy ways to heal

Your body is a temple
so clean it when you spill
cough drops and syrup
can’t help you face what’s real
dis-ease is oh so real
like weeds it grows and kills
mountains grow from hills
so make prayer a daily drill

Ashe. Amen. And so it is.
