Fertile Mind

Your mind is like a fertile land

What you sow, so shall ye reap

You have two seeds to choose from

Which one will you keep ?

The first is the seed of failure

The second the seed of success 

Which one will you plant

That will flourish at its best

Your fertile mind, like the land

Does not really care

Either seed you plant 

Will grow with fruits to bare

You have the choice, which seed to plant

Remember what you ought

When you have planted that very seed

You will be living off the fruits of your thoughts.

Well Simone, I don't know if you believe in what the bible has to say about these two seeds that the mind can plant. They are seeds of good and evil. (Genesis 2:17) And God said they are seeds of death, the tree is metaphoric meaning "mind". We need to learn how to plant the seed of love from our hearts, which will reap life everlasting. We don't need to plant either seed from the mind. Please if you have any other questions about this feel free to ask. Sincerely, Moses
