Approaching My Day
"Each day we consider,
Most things that matter
Like; dress and eat,
Appointments to keep
Some days we only memorize,
Not wanting to analyze
The bigger questions before us,
Procrastinating they are superfluous
To avoid conflict that might arise,
Or hearing an answer that would surprise
But if we are willing to expand,
Our thinking to understand
Beyond the rituals of our day,
What part imagination can play
We would soar with the eagles,
Be a king or a queen without equal
Imagined we had found buried treasure,
Help lost souls come together
Or lighten our load,
Where all negatives are stored
To be free to follow our dreams,
Because imagination is its first seed
Of that goal we want for ourselves,
Nurtured by motivation that compels
Us to think, therefore I am,
Believing that you can"
