How to Keep Well

  • Feb 20

Sickness and suffering are not meant for man,

For Spirit is perfect and right;

But we transgress God's laws in many a way

And, so, turn away from the light.


There is not any need to suffer such pain,

For God did not make all these ills;

He wanted us happy and free to enjoy

The valleys, the ocean, the hills!


Thinking correctly can help keep us all well!

Right thinking can keep us immune

From much that is wrong, and can help every one

Keep, harmoniously, in tune!


And so that, dearest friends, is the reason why

Man suffers from all kinds of ills:

Some day he may learn the correct laws of God;

And, then, he can give up his pills!
