On Thinking Better




For today's prompt, take the phrase "(blank) Better," 
replace the blank with a new word or phrase, 
make the new phrase the title of your poem, a
nd then, write your poem.

This poem was influenced by Impending Planting Season!!😊

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

 Janet Martin

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.
