There are many strains of viruses,
All caused by different germs,
And each does harm the healthy cells
In no uncertain terms.
Your thoughts are like these illnesses.
They attack what’s well and good.
You’d see they’re quite insidious
If see your thoughts you could.
And so you must be vigilant
And not let your thoughts run wild.
With firm hand you must control them,
As a caring parent with its child.
The analogy’s a good one
For like a child thoughts do grow.
And if left alone and uncontrolled
Then true chaos you do know.
But given love and guided
Good thoughts inside do bloom.
Instead of causing pain and strife
They heal, thus given room.
While germs and sickness run amok
Your thoughts you do control.
So monitor what’s in your mind
Before these germs do take their toll.
Should pessimism be the norm
Of how you think each day,
Replace your thoughts with love and light
And heal yourself this way.
