Seeds
What seeds have you been planting In the garden of your heart? What will be forthcoming When the germination starts? What seeds have you been planting In the garden of your heart? What will be forthcoming When the germination starts?
Thoughts are the seedlings that we use,
Of this there is no doubt.
The fertile soil within our minds,
We never are without.
If gracious thoughts are planted,
The returns will surely be
A harvest full of beauty,
Which you will plainly see.
If your thoughts are seeds you are showing,
You are very apt to find
That weeds will soon be growing
The most depressing kind.
Once they have gained a foothold,
They will not want to leave.
They'll thrive on your unhappiness,
Making sure that you will grieve.
It is hard to keep bad thoughts away;
Some are bound to filter in.
The thing that's so important
Is that you must sweep them out again
Before they get a chance to grow.
That way you're sure to find
Each day will be rewarding,
For you'll have peace of mind.
