These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Wandering Health

Chasing dreams, and greenish backs,
we're chasing what to do.
Eat to health the daily flax,
then sleep when we are through.

Wanderlust for earthly thrills
excites our happiness.
Plodding o'er the vales and hills
seems less our hearts to bless.

Finally with a hurting heart,
we're weary and forlorn.
Choices of our own did start
the illness lately borne.

Wondrous change! What hope I see
in choices newly made!
Health returns my life to free
in joyful life displayed.

This poem is dedicated to my good friend, Scifiwizard Retired .
"May your life be blessed at the latter end more than at the first." (JOT)
