The Weeds In the Field
Live life with love and joy
do not let negativity flow
drop the doom and gloom
do not let it be a cycle in life
Plant positive thoughts
keep re-seeding and re-sowing
watering, nurturing and fertilizing
get rid of all self pity
Look for the good not the bad
find the flowers not the weeds
do not fertilize someone's field with negativity
and don't allow others to fertilize yours
While a mind entertains it
the mouth does not have to speak it
plant positive thoughts
it will reap a bounty
As God's servants we tend our fields
we will find plenty of weeds
we will pull them daily
some planted by us some by others
You can pull that weed
or let it become overgrown
do we open the gate to that field
or keep it closed
Look for the good in people
Pray for them, forgive them
Fill life with love and joy
Be thankful for daily blessings.
