Health is a crucial blessing to the soul.
It is not easy to be sick and well;
The body is the outer of the whole,
But it and spirit both can go through hell,
And either's pain can make the other burn.
This does not mean the two cannot assuage
Each other's wounds; rather, we learn
That to be healthy, we must ever gauge
Both of our parts against each other, so
We can be sure that each is what must be
To be ourselves, at best. If both are low
We must recover both, and equally
(If possible). The heart's a muscle, too
And holds all parts of us in one like glue.
