Mind the Paint

A mind not filled up is just empty space I'll decorate mine to stay in life's race With silly string so I'm not too stoic And badge of courage to help be heroic A rainbow of colors when I'm feeling just blue For my wife, some thick paste to stay stuck on you A bright red heart to remember to love Wrapped up in mercy that fits like a glove A Labrador puppy will teach me affection A compass implanted to show me direction Scents that are common so I don't be a fool And measuring stick to follow the rules Some mathematical facts to say what is true A river of patience when I don't have a clue A funny face clown for acting a ham And people who love me just as I am So fill up your mind with whatever your taste A brain not decorated is such a big waste
