The Power Of Thought

"I hold it true that thoughts are things Endowed with bodies, breath and wings, And that we send them forth to fill The world with good results - or ill. That which we call our secret thought, Speeds to the earth's remotest spot, And leaves its blessings or its woes, Like tracks behind it as it goes".

"We awaken in another, Just the thoughts our minds contain. If we're kind, we win their kindness, If we hate, they hate again. We pass on to brother mortals, The vibrations of the soul, And the knowing ones receive them, As they search from pole to pole".

"We build our futures thought by thought, Or good or bad, and know it not - Yet so the universe is wrought. Thought is another name for Fate, Choose, then, thy destiny and wait - For love brings love and hate brings hate".
