Screen of Awareness

Like an shiny apple's rind, 
my outer body all can see.  
Like an apple's fruit,  
I hold many secrets.  
Seeds and beliefs are hidden deep inside.  


An apple has much to offer,  
my life also has much to offer.  
We can be sweet ~ fulfilling,  
a joy to the world.  
Our awareness is from God.
