The Teacher

The dreamer just sat in the corner As the life and soul glided by And the teacher looked on thinking About a thousand questions, why? And the answers he couldn’t put into words Though he knew he needed to try For the thing that came to inspire him, Which had struck with considerable force, Was the sudden understanding Of the power of positive thought And the need to let it be known to all Now this was the lesson he taught… The dreamer spent all his life dreaming Dreams filled with a positive charge Wishing he could actually live his dreams But held back by a negative veil A barrier he had built up around him That made sure he would definitely fail The life and soul had a public face Inflated by positive ions and grace Wishing his private life were as good But held back by a powerful negative tale A story he’d built to impress the world That made certain he’d appear not to fail But the teacher just simply remembered Each and every one of his dreams And how he had dared to live them That it’s not as hard as it seems And the only difficult step to take Is the first; then you follow the stream In following the stream you will quickly find That your positive energy will rapidly bind The resources required to design and to build The plan to ensure that your dream is fulfilled You will never be missing the things that you need And all will conspire to help you succeed

Yes, there is nothing truer than "thoughts and words are things" and so has it ever been. Creative visualization, I also wrote about this subject, what we think, shall become - I love this subject, excellent poem, my friend. Love Kristin

What a brilliant teacher! Yes, I so agree, it is the first step that is the hardest, but once taken, somehow - amazingly so - everything will fall into place. For the most part, anyway - of course. Wonderful inspiring write! Love, Shar
