Something for those of us who care so much but ignore ourselves.
                                              Hey, You! 


                    Hey you, yeah,you, in the too cute scrubs
                                        What's your ldL?
                          "Hmm, Dunno... been meaning to but...
                         

                          Hey you, yeah,you. selling the Pink Ribbons
                                    When was your last Mamo?
                            "Hmm, Dunno... been meaning to but...


                            Hey you, yeah, you working the BP Clinic
                                    What's your blood pressure?
                            "Hmm, Dunno...been meaning to but...

          Hey you, yeah, you counseling patients on  end of life issues
                                          Who's your proxy?
                                      Do you have a living will?
                            I know, I know, you been meaning to but...


          Hey you, yeah you with all the awards for caring and service
          With the folio full of letters of praise and sincere appreciation
                              When last did you care for you?
          "Hmmm, Dunno... actually I'm not the Iyanla type, it's all too cliche!


                              Hey you, yeah, you lying in my ICU
                          I know, I know, you were meaning to but...
                      I can't tell that to your beautiful Angel daughters
                                They want to hear, "Don't worry...
                                        Mommy will be fine."
                          But all I got is "Dunno... we're doing all we can


                          Hey you, yeah, you, while there's still time
                              Take care of you, fill your love bucket
                              Tend to your body, nuture your soul
                            It's no cliche, it's the only way to live
                                        To give another day
