Thinking back on what I did to my body
All those years compulsively smoking and drinking
All the fast food fries and sweet treats binges
All the time stressed out short on sleep hours
Awash in the pervasive environmental toxins
Breathing the noxious fumes industrialization emits
Drinking the harmful pollution leached into our water
Eating all the poisons contaminating our food supply
Thanks to my immune system I'm alive today
And I do what I can to take good care of it
Since my cancer needed surgery and radiation
Making health a priority got my full attention
Giving my cells and biome the nutrition they need
With a plant based diet of unprocessed food
Exercising to get the blood and lymph flowing
To transport the immune cells where they need to be
Availing myself of whatever vaccines are developed
To proactively train the adaptive immune system
Finding ways to relax and release tension build up
To let my immune system rest and recover
To have a quiet routine before going to sleep
Early enough to bed to wake up refreshed
Having learned to take better care of myself
To have a chance to enjoy this life awhile longer
