Doubts

Doubts can be planted like a seed Growing within, for all that we need Consistency falters, direction fades The doubts take over in the shade I saw the light shining high above Bright as the earth glowing with love So bright, I walked and couldn’t resist To focus on the positive through the mist In a garden spread out, waiting to grow With shifting thoughts in wind that blows Across the land, implemented in the mind Helping me to focus on what to find Things that work in life or what does not To help the soul move on with what is sought As there will always be tribulations to face On any given day or at any found place Doubts are only what we allow them to be When we make the given choice not to see Heidi Sands 12/2/17

doubt is a weapon we use on ourselves usually to travel the easiest path

It has its purpose...but most of the times we find comfort in doubts for own protection...Whether rightly so or not...That where the danger sets in...Good advice in a poetry format...All the best Heidi

So true, Heidi, if we allow doubts to control our lives we would never try anything new and we would never accomplish anything. Nicely stated. John
