Walk Leisurely

1. Walk leisurely, enjoying all 

the sights that pass you by;

the lovely houses, flowers, 

and the clouds up in the sky.

Do not hasten, but appreciate 

these simple things,

and you will be amazed at how much JOY 

that each one brings!

2. People often hurry for

their health and exercise,

but this can be accompanied 

by problems that arise.

Tension and the feeling that 

a schedule they must keep,

could all result in disregarding 

needed rest or sleep.

Slower walking helps to 

exercise more muscles too.

It tenderly massages, and

adds STRENGTH to all you do.

3. Strolling leisurely brings HEALING

to body and soul,

as it fills your heart with peace, 

which should be your main goal.

Listen to the whispers that

your inspiration speaks.

Follow where it leads you,

to a hill or sandy beach.

With a soothing balm you will be

healed through and through,

as tension is transformed into

a rest haven for you.

4. When you are in need of 

inner peace, comfort or cheer,

you’ll find them on a restful stroll 

when sunny days are here.

Sometimes it is even nice 

to walk out in the rain.

It can help restore your PEACE

and happiness again.

Walking can reduce, by almost half,

common disease,

while in its gentle way it puts

your mind and heart at ease.

5. Remember when you take a stroll 

to try and slow your pace.

Life was not intended 

as a marathon or race.

Just relax, enjoying every sight 

and sound you hear.

Staying close to nature you will feel

God’s PRESENCE near!
