Cultivating Change
In the greenhouse of young minds, we plant the seeds of tomorrow,
Where knowledge blooms and awareness grows, we must not borrow
But cultivate a future, green and bright,
For the climate crisis looms a formidable sight.
Let us root our lessons in the soil of truth,
Let us nurture saplings of wisdom in our youth,
Let us prune away ignorance,

Cultivating Virtue
Do not give up when all seems lost,
For success is accurately measuring
By perseverance, rarely by the cost.
Things that we are most treasuring
May become a necessary sacrifice,
For valuable things more pleasuring.
Virtues, like integrity, have no price
And cultivating them is, frankly, nice!

Cultivating a Friendship
Cultivating a Friendship
By: Tom Wright
10-2005
Friendships,
are a lot like growing tomatoes.
Both require a certain amount of attention,
and must be allowed to ripen over time,
Not placed on some dark shelf and forgotten until needed.
I’ve found that what I’m willing to put into a friendship,
determines what I get back as a friend.

Cultivating Creativity
I have so much in me that's pouring to see
Hear me massive thoughts grasping for air seas to me
Trees elated to transform ability
Lines rhyme submissively
Structured stand statically
Touching places and faces mentally
Who is to be
Greater is He in Me
Given power to tread over serpents deceitfully
Tried to pound cake my senses see
Never to be
Eyes opened spiritually
Naturally
Balance

Cultivating Optimism
Cultivating optimism, happiness and good cheer
Will bring God’s light upon us as He is forever near
Through life’s deepest waters, daily tasks and trials
God is with us on our journey, through all our mortal miles
Cultivating these virtues is a daily choice we each should make
Developing them is an option, and one we ought to take

Cultivating a Friendship
When my friend Lydia was alive
she made the world
around her thrive,
this garden grew so high
and wide,
you couldn't find the other side.
she had red hair and azure eyes
so like a flower in disguise
perhaps she was a hybrid host
a woman blooming as a ghost
inhabiting this bit of land
to cultivate her garden grand.
her colored skirts of daffodils
her collars
