Inside Out

Inside Out

We spend much care for our outside,
But what about the in?
Of this aspect we need to take more pride,
And it’s time that we begin.

For what if the inside was what others see,
Would this change our life approach?
Self-carer then far better be,
And a diligent diet coach.

It seems because here’s hidden,
The care required we sparing spend.
Then, unnoticed and unbidden,
Its failing health we can’t defend.

So, reset the balance of in/out care,
Spend more time on the out of sight.
Provide it with the better share,
And improve health, bite by bite.

Then be as proud of what's unseen,
As that which outward we present.
Our inside as well as outside preen,
Start now with new intent.
