I usually wake up in the morning very soon,
Have some peanut porridge with my spoon,
Wash my clothes and clean my room,
Eat my tomatoes with lettuce at noon;
In the evening I enjoy the steam fish and okra that I consume,
I also Play some football and watch some cartoon.
In the night I do some push ups under the moon,
Drink three glasses of water,
Then I write three poems and one tune.
I also pray that my blessings will bloom.
While the hands of time turn
In these times that are modern
There are many things that a young man must learn
I adapt in my life a healthy pattern
Ensuring that sufficient calories burn
How to live healthy is something I must learn
So
I love the yam and corn that I roast
I have some whole wheat bread to toast
Steam Callaloo and brown rice are what I love the most
Whenever I am on the Jamaican north coast
After I put on the gym clothes
Which were hanging in my closet
I exercise to get fit
It is my habit
To drink my natural juices
So
I will always go
Where the vegetable and the fruit is
To get all the vitamins and minerals that my body uses
Each man must be mindful
Of the lifestyle that he chooses
If a man damages his own health he loses
So he must be careful of the substances that he abuses
There are no excuses

I spend each passing day,
Listening to the joyful sounds of families at play,
Watching the emotions they display,
Dressed in my uniform,
Wearing dark shades,
Time slowly fades,
Always learning,
Alert with Head turning,
Skin exposed with the sun burning,
Always looking at water,
For the safety of a son,
For the safety of a daughter,
On the beach side,
On the Boat ride, in the swimming pools
On a Water slide.
My whistle blows,
The fun stops I jump in,
Heart rapidly pumping to make a rescue,
Do not worry I am lifeguard I will save you
