Mindful
You catch them hanging out
Pretty much on the edge
Of the cranium
Where they like to lay their eggs
They keep you remembering
All that you should know
If you need to have a name
They go by the mindful
Once the eggs have hatched
You'll be mindful of this and that
Keeping you on your guard
Of what should be done and said
Into your brain they will burn
All in life we need to learn
Keeping an eye on those around
Is mostly the mindful's concern
They take it to task amongst themselves
To be mindful of everyone else
For after all isn't that
What a mindful life is all about
So don't be scared, don't be afraid
When you feel an itching of the brain
It's just the mindful laying ground
Soon enough to be paved
Making sure the road ahead's
Not too bumpy or too rough
As you're on your way to what
You should be mindful of
