Why I Walk (An Acrostic Sonnet)

Without a doubt this is my exercise.
However old or sore I grow to be,
You’ll notice I am walking, body-wise
In every weather, till adversity
Withholds me, trips me, interrupts my flow.
And I can list the benefits I win,
Like movement, and the way I always know
Kilometers as time when I begin.
Stress management accompanies my tread.
Outside refreshes vision, mood, and mind.
My ambles send ideas into my head,
Uprooting dull and casting gruff behind.
Corralling obligations, task and talk,
However long I live, I hope to walk.
