Snug As A Bug 3/21/2024

Snug as a bug
In a rug
Tis a silly saying
That express one’s ability
To find comfort
With only a soft blanket.

Snugging
 Tis the act of giving
Yourself a hug
Perhaps this warmth
Also comes
From the presence
Of self-love.

Taking care of the body
In times of stress
Is a way
To express you care
About yourself
No matter what. 

That may seem
Foolish and selfish
For some
But the human body
Is a vehicle to experience
All that needs
To be experienced
When it arrives
At the doorway
Of the now. 

Keeping oneself
Healthy and happy
Is not for the faint heart
For it involves a ritual
Of diet and exercise. 

Eating healthy foods
For your body type
Expressing gratitude
For what is consumed
And taking care
Of all physical parts
Mindfully
Is something
We should incorporate
Into a daily routine.

Tis the best way
To align the body
The mind and heart
Together as one unit
Allowing the Soulful Self
To express love
Both inside and out.
