Deep breath in;
Deep breath out.
Through yer lungs,
Then all about:
To yer heart,
Feet & hair.
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Air.

Splish-splash in;
Splish-splash out.
Swallow some;
Twist & shout.
Swim around
Like an Otter.
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Water.

Stir it up;
Take a munch:
Some for breakfast;
Some for lunch.
Chew it well;
Swallow good.
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Food.

Nestle down
On your bed.
Rest your body,
Arms & head.
Say yer prayers.
(“My soul to keep”)
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Sleep.

Hug yer Mama
& yer Dad.
Grandma, Grandpa,
Friends you’ve had.
Re-connect with
Birds & Blokes.
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Folks.

Ponder fondness
& affection;
Hugs & Kisses,
Introspection.
Deep emotions
Soar above:
Ob-vi-ous-ly,
We need Love.
