Precious Yours

Does the world revolve around you? You bet they do You are the most important person in the world To you And to God Those are the two you need to aim To please If they are not happy You are not happy The world can come and please But only you call the shots What gets in you And what comes out of you You don’t need anyone You are not an island But you are not a city bus either Let it be known That you think and do what you want And that is not someone’s business They don’t own you Speak for you Or choose your world for you You decide on how you see things What it is that appeals to you What you want to include in your world Only you would know what it is That is important to you You want to make yourself happy And not someone else first Because in the end If you don’t have it You can’t give it So take care of yourself Fill it Nourish it Give it what it needs To take care of you And finally take care of others Remember what goes in Eventually come out So be careful of what you put in See Allow What you call yours You don’t want just anything Do you? Or do you?
