How can I articulate my feelings into words,
Assemble them so they make sense, if someone were to read?
And even if the thoughts I pen are never to be heard,
At least I’ve let my feelings bloom, not just remain a seed.
An active mind when exercised like any muscle grows.
The nourishment that it requires comes in from all around,
To help it probe the vast domain, discover what it knows.
A healthy mind is one well fed, with roots in fertile ground.
A mind well-tuned and exercised can do most anything.
An idle mind seems such a waste, at least provide a book.
Choose healthy food from history, see what the classics bring,
God’s written Word will stretch the mind, it’s worth the time to look.
A mind that’s fed unhealthy junk can quickly go astray,
So many people all around with messages to sell.
Be careful to evaluate what others have to say,
Good motives or an evil heart, it’s often hard to tell.
I recommend God’s written word, it’s healthy and it’s true.
It helps my mind expand and grow, keep learning something new.
