Prov.23:7

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:...

Then, we should watch well, Thought's Seed Jar...

Because thought turns to word or deed

And these become the scattered seed

That bears the fruit that will affect

More than personal intellect

Before we speak or act, we ought

To mind the things that fuel thought

Before our words and deeds comprise

Either benefit or demise

Before the telling ways of choice

For better or for worse, give voice

To what was hid, but not for long

Before it turns to right or wrong

And helps or hinders you and me

From being who we ought to be

Perhaps we should pay better heed

To Thought, the sire of word and deed 

The Fount from which attention drinks

Rouses and nurtures how one thinks 

Where Influence and Want run rife

Through The Control Tower of  Life

Forging the font of word and deed

Soon deftly strewn like potent seed

Then, we should watch well, Thought's Seed Jar

For, how we think is how we are

Phil.4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, 

whatever is true, 

whatever is noble, 

whatever is right, 

whatever is pure, 

whatever is lovely, 

whatever is admirable—

if anything is excellent 

or praiseworthy—

think about such things.
