It all Starts With a Thought

It starts with a thought, a quiet voice that turns into a silent whisper A gentle words spoken, a conversation sparked Passion ignited movements of hope, courage, and determination Movement sentence by a monumental change Movements, which collectively become part of the great love exchange It starts with a thought Your desire to dream your hunger to defy the odds, your feel your fibre and your food It starts with a thought But have you ever stopped to ponder to reflect to wonder? What is about a thought that causes a delicate home to grow into a rippling Thunder? By the age of five, 90% of our brain wiring has formed Our ability to perform, inform, and instigate reform It’s all wired together, like a bowl of string, wanting and willing us to find the end What will we do once we find the end? Well, in all honesty that will depend Maybe will decide based on what we’ve been taught, maybe will act to avoid being distraught – but ultimately it would depend on a singular thought I thought to act, to keep the ball intact, I thought to be abstract Why is this thought so precious? God gave us thoughts not to harm us, but to bless us But be wary, we must guard our thoughts Filter the filth, FILL with fruitfulness, fight for fair Our thoughts matter, Our thoughts have power, Our thoughts are very foundation of why we care Lean on truth, lean on understanding, lean on love Not the superficial love, we see on Valentine’s Day, not a love that ends on a Monday and returns on a Friday, not I love on display, better love that goes all the way, love that doesn’t decay I love that is boundless, limitless and pure Our tribe needs this love Our community needs this love Our world needs this love But most of all we need this love We need this love to spark a conversation We need this love to ignite passion We need this to fuel movements But it all starts with a thought
