Seeds of the Mind


Your mind is like a garden

You can grow flowers or you can choose to grow weeds 

 

She amazed herself at how far she had grown

From the soil, she tended and not always with ease 

Flourishment .... she was determined to succeed 

From a seed to a sprout, every step counts

Each spring she'd germinate more knowledge till she is as wise as a willow tree

 

Like the bodies of the snakes in the garden 

She'll shed a thousand skins to transform and allow for further growth 

no day the same as the last
