The Teacher
The dreamer just sat in the corner
As the life and soul glided by
And the teacher looked on thinking
About a thousand questions, why?
And the answers he couldn’t put into words
Though he knew he needed to try
For the thing that came to inspire him,
Which had struck with considerable force,
Was the sudden understanding
Of the power of positive thought
And the need to let it be known to all
Now this was the lesson he taught…
The dreamer spent all his life dreaming
Dreams filled with a positive charge
Wishing he could actually live his dreams
But held back by a negative veil
A barrier he had built up around him
That made sure he would definitely fail
The life and soul had a public face
Inflated by positive ions and grace
Wishing his private life were as good
But held back by a powerful negative tale
A story he’d built to impress the world
That made certain he’d appear not to fail
But the teacher just simply remembered
Each and every one of his dreams
And how he had dared to live them
That it’s not as hard as it seems
And the only difficult step to take
Is the first; then you follow the stream
In following the stream you will quickly find
That your positive energy will rapidly bind
The resources required to design and to build
The plan to ensure that your dream is fulfilled
You will never be missing the things that you need
And all will conspire to help you succeed
