Sit up when you can't or don't stand drummers do this as they play in bands; vases follow suit when placed on table tops six month infants sit up before they talk. Once there were twin brothers, sit and stand each would rule different parts of the land; sit would give up his chair at court stand would hold you up as a sport. Each was fit and had their way of letting you be each knew how to entertain world audiences for free; but sit became less motivated, his stomach muscles turned to lard, stood still kept strong on his feet, his abdominals had turned hard. One morning stood never woke, he lay still sit never believed his twin half could go ill, sit and stand once ruled the land now stand was gone and sit took command. Moral of the story: You would think stand would outlive sit, the second would die younger 'cause he was less 'fit'; sometimes fitness has to with the mind physical habit is no guarantee, you'll find.

 BRAVO!!! This is powerful, sweet friend, indeed it is great to stay healthy physically to live long and prosperous, but it is rather our hearts and staying true to ourselves that helps us to succeed in life most of all! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Great to cheer at least some of you up after the posting of so many heartbreak poems or the postings of ones with more serious content...that I've contributed to myself |
