The Garden of Your Mind A Poem by Charles David Heineke Read by the Author

Your mind is like a garden:

Your mind is like a garden: Whatever you plant will grow.

Your mind is like a garden: Whatever you plant will grow. Your thoughts are seeds you're planting:

Your mind is like a garden: Whatever you plant will grow. Your thoughts are seeds you're planting: They produce, each after its kind.

And you, just like a gardener,

And you, just like a gardener, Can choose which seeds you'll plant.

And you, just like a gardener, Can choose which seeds you'll plant. And by the choice of seeds you sow,

And you, just like a gardener, Can choose which seeds you'll plant. And by the choice of seeds you sow, You choose the harvest you will reap.

So don't plant seeds of lack or fear,

So don't plant seeds of lack or fear, Disease, discord, or doubt.

So don't plant seeds of lack or fear, Disease, discord, or doubt. Plant, instead, the seeds you want;

So don't plant seeds of lack or fear, Disease, discord, or doubt. Plant, instead, the seeds you want; Then things you want will sprout.

This gift of choice is given to all,

This gift of choice is given to all, And not to just a few.

This gift of choice is given to all, And not to just a few. The harvest, friend, is in your hands:

This gift of choice is given to all, And not to just a few. The harvest, friend, is in your hands: The crop depends on you.

So take this power which you've been given,

So take this power which you've been given, And use it every day,

So take this power which you've been given, And use it every day, To gain from life the good you want,

So take this power which you've been given, And use it every day, To gain from life the good you want, For you have found the way.
