Glucose Warfare

 



Not discipline, not duty

But DESIRE

WINS THE BATTLE

Here with sluggish blood

Scrambled mood

Infected foot.

Diabetes.


My daughter and her guy Steve

Cite the reasons why

I have to take hold.

Not a scold

But a life saving agenda.


Many a talk

Take more walks

Lay off the whites, wheat

And beef, tomato and eggs.

She almost begs

Yet I seem half hearted.


To knock the habits

The overnight snacking

The eat for eat’ s sake

When need is not asking

Knowing full well

That infection, amputation

Blindness pose a real hell.

Use the meter Boy, often.

Record it all.


Last night came forward

The possibility of desire

Fanning the fires of

Cooperation, happy regimen

And BLESSED HEALTH.

Now age 73. Gottabee.
