Morning Walk

Morning Walk

P K Routray

A morning walk

on plain or rock,

on a street or a park

or on running track

is good for health

proclaimed as a man’s costly wealth.

As all doctors and health experts say

morning walk keeps diseases at bay.

But to get up in the morning

with alarm clock harassingly ringing

as set by the previous night determination

but with cozy comfort of bed;s temptation

everyone wants on bed further to stay

seems to be the hardest task of the day.

But if one overcomes this temptation

and walks for a while under the rising sun

he gets the bliss of the day

and remains through out jovial and gay.

To walk in group or alone

is a choice of a man’s own.

Some with instrument plugged to ear

with choicest music to hear,

some in a group with laughter and gossip

walk miles ignoring the physical hardship

From clean morning breeze and the rising sun

vitamins and oxygen man gets during the run,

excess fat gets burnt and melts with dripping sweats

though it seems painful but nectar for health from it man gets

Child and old, man and woman, healthy and sick

all must go for moe\rning walk to keep their health at peak.
