You Are What You Think

When you think, you’ll become, more than you are. You’ll become what you think; So take note, of it all. More important, think WHAT, you WANT to be! For Dragon it was a Hero… His everything! He wanted to become a Hero for Everyone! So he helped old Mr. Codger, cross the street. Well Done! Tho, it would’ve worked better, if he’d wanted to go. Still, it was a start… Now surely, you know… Old Mr. Codger patted his head, with his walking stick! Wasn’t he sweet! It let Dragon know, he’d done, the right thing! Now, he was sure! Surely…you agree! Now, don’t you think? Next Dragon took a walk into the park… There the Sheriff of Crazyland wanted Dragon to clean, His pet Pigeons’ Poo from a statue so tall and so lean… Dragon cleaned it with flames, a fast, and admirable thing! Unfortunately, parts melted, but that, had happened before. And Dragon was proud, he’d helped, as he left, with a grin. Remember! Dragon is a baby, of three… to our chagrin. He’ll learn the finer art of helping… Perhaps, another day. Next, Dragon spied a young child riding a horse… The horse spooked and ran off, as The Mother screamed away! They ran to the trees, with Dragon a hero, again! What A Day! He flew to the sky, picking up, the child AND the horse. He laid them down safely, at the feet of the Mom, of course! He didn’t look back… As she screamed and she yelled… That they’d become scared, just when, he’d come around! He knew, he’d come, at just the right place, and the right time. Dragon saved the day, definitely! … A Hero… Sublime! He smiled as he said; a True Hero’s work is never done! Be you bigger than big or smaller than small… You are you… but with your mind, that won’t be all! And that’s the best thing! So remember… It’s true… With practice and thinking, You’ll become, a better You! So Never give up and never give in… to the very end. You’ll get better with practice… as Your thinking grows! Tho with Dragon we can only hope… it will be so… At least, we know, it’s true… that Dragon will keep trying! Yes, we know, that he will! Honest! Just Saying!

Good story, Dragon can be a handful. This is Hubby (Michael Eastman). I was finally coerced, er...convinced, to become a member here, since a lot of tidbits put in Carol's stories come from sources close to her. Hope you enjoyed her stories, and will enjoy mine as well. Some of mine might be a bit off the wall, but they are all real. They have large, no - huge, grains of truth to them. You can find my writings under my name - Michael Eastman. Thankyou for inviting me.
