Sonnet #1 - Body, Mind, Soul


The bread we eat is frequently whole wheat
We minimize processed, sugary food
Heavy on the veggies, light on the meat
A healthy bearing, we try to exude
We pursue lectures, love to read good books
Watch art-house movies and off-Broadway plays
We walk in woods along wandering brooks
We visit museums, on some Sundays
Some dollars, time, and exertions we give
Seeking creative ways to volunteer
To guard their human rights and help them live
An emphasis is on the kids we rear
The person who has most improved my life?
There’s no question about it, it’s my wife
