Thought Conditioners

I work out everyday to take care

of my body

of my weight

to achieve anti-aging they call it

but I should not neglect

my thoughts

it’s obvious they should say...

Thoughts are things

I should use correctly

in the comings and goings of life

when the world tells you not

I should do the opposite

and give my thoughts a good workout

Rather than gloom and doom

I think of a child’s smile

to tell me how precious life should be

I think of a sunshine day

to warm my bones and give me vitamin D

I think of the simple joys

a cup of coffee when I have it

I think of the freedoms I have

to appreciate and care

I think of the pains and sorrows I have

they keep me straight and strong

I think of friends and family

they bring value and care

compared to those who have none

I think of the lonely ones

they miss love and want love

but no one cares until I came along

As the day begins, I think how precious

it must be to have 24 golden hours of life

ahead and soon behind me

I think not of what I have

but what it could be

so I’ll work out now

and also condition my thought

What do you think my reader friend?

think differently than the world

and hold fast to the prize of life

your thinking is becoming of you!
