YOUR MENTAL GARDEN
Resentment is an ugly thing, It crowds the roses out; Keep your mental garden fair, Put harmful things to rout. Seed-thoughts that you cultivate Within your fertile mind, Bring forth varied blossoms According to their kind. Anger, malice, worry, fear, Are noxious mental seeds; Quickly rid your mind of them Before they choke, as weeds. Faith, gentleness, humility, Truth, patience, selfless love, Are specimens of seedlings rare, Approved of God above. Your mental garden is a place In which you daily dwell; Let nothing ugly flourish there, Safeguard and tend it well. —Grenville Kleiser.
