The best things in life don’t come fast or free,
But sometimes my impatience makes me cheat.
Though I know I’m wrong, trying to rush things along,
I get mad when outcomes are incomplete.
The purpose I serve is much more than my own,
And Nature’s clock ticks much slower than mine.
I can gripe and pout or just wait the thing out,
For the Most High works on It’s own time.
I can have love, prosperity, and peace
And all the things that make it joyful to live.
Sometimes money can’t pay for those treasures—
Only my patience and willingness to give.
We are all farmers of the crops of our destiny,
Semi-conscious of the psychological seeds we sow.
So to yield the best return, we must learn
To give things time and let them grow.

I can’t take back what I’ve done in the past
Nor can I retaliate on all that’s been done to me,
At best I can learn from experiences I’ve had
Shake the chains of regret and be free,
The future has its own set of tests and trials
So why dwell upon yesterdays woes,
My road only changes if I’m willing to change it
The door of opportunity is never closed.
I must free up my psychological arms
To make space for better things to come
I should dispose of the junk from the past
And seek the source where all natural treasures come from.
We are the wardens of the prison in our minds
Condemned by guilt, regret and sorrow,
But I stay at peace, when I learn to release-
Yesterday, and appreciate the hope of tomorrow!

The energy we use when we fuss and fight,
Could be cast in dark tunnels to shed some light.
The resources we waste, trying to hold down others
Could be used to spread wellness to all of our sisters and brothers
The attention that we pay to our selfish desires
Could fully fund the development of new peaceful empires
The time we waste in self-pity, and or seeking revenge,
Could be spent creating new worlds and making new friends
The bodies we use and abuse, as we run this senseless race
Could better be used on one team, with all who share this place
The praise we send up high, could be used much more down here
Share our love with those around us, instead of sending it in the atmosphere.
The faith we put in human truth, always ends up the same
The road gets darker as we venture farther, from the light from which we came.
No stimulus plan or swift talking man, can fix the situation we’re in
We must see us as one, reverse the course we’ve run, and plug back into our true power source again!!!
