Prevention is better than cure

Prevention is better than cure, they say A mantra to live by, day by day For when we take steps to keep harm at bay We safeguard ourselves in every way It's easier to stop trouble before it starts To protect our minds and our hearts For once the damage is done, it's harder to mend Prevention is truly a loyal friend Let's be proactive, wise and alert To prevent pain and avoid hurt By looking ahead and taking action now We can prevent suffering, this I vow So let us be mindful, let us be aware Prevention is key, it's only fair For by taking care of ourselves and each other too We create a world that's safe and true.
