Thought Control

Can you grow at this stage?

A lesson from the blue.

Something to take the mind

And create a way so new

On how to think on things

And perceive the things around

So you never need complain

Or protest with a sound.

You take each passing moment

As a means to help you learn

And every time your troubled

You take the proper turn

Because life is full of minutes

And the decisions that you take

So if you see the opportunity

To take it in before you make

Another rash decision

Or an impulse that will find

Your situation worse

And regret just fills your mind

See the positive in lifes trials

The lesson to be learned

So when your world is heated

You’ll avoid the “getting burned”

Don’t speak before you think

On what each word will do

Because the way you voice your mind

Is how the world sees you

Words also carry feelings

And can affect the listener well

They also mold emotions

And can put your heart in hell

So the lesson of these words

In this specific rhyme

Is to think before you act

And give yourself some time

You’ll find that as you change

Your thoughts from bad to good

The chance you’ll behave correctly

And do just what you should

Improve with each experience

As you use the art of pause

If growth is what you seek

Doing this will help your cause

So don’t think it’s much too late

Or you’re stuck with who you are

Because if you control your thinking

This life will take you far
