I try to lower my blood pressure.
I fill out more forms.
I get booster vaccines.
I run on the treadmill.
I read news stories about water-borne illnesses.
I tolerate invasions of our privacy and smile.
I buy shirts with giraffes on them.
I broaden my cultural horizons.
I learn to shop smarter.
I smile when I drive pass the new school.
I make peace with my father.
I practice foreign languages.
I clean house more vigorously.
I get HIV tests.
I resolve to cuss less.
I stand in bureaucratic line ups.
I get fingerprinted.
I dream.
I hope.
All for you.
For one day, you will be here.
