Title: “A Refreshing Poetry Garden”
Plant in your mind a wonderful poem garden,
A source to refresh joy in your life,
Go there everyday to harvest inspiration!
Life is a lot more than test scores from school,
Refreshing your life has no finite rules!
Plant in your mind a wonderful poem garden.
Reading and reciting practical poetry is a way to connect to positive thinking,
Your poetry garden helps revive you when you feel that you are sinking.
Go there everyday to harvest inspiration!
You can go to your poetry garden any time of the day,
It’s as easy as riding in a one horse open sleigh.
Plant in your mind a wonderful poem garden.
Change, misfortune and uncertainty is with you from morning to night,
With a positive “poem partner” you’ll avoid being uptight!
Go to your poem garden everyday to harvest inspiration!
If you want to experience positive change don’t wait,
You’ve got to get going and open the gate!
Plant in your mind a wonderful poem garden,
A source to refresh joy in your life,
Go there everyday to harvest inspiration!

Maybe you will also find this a daily poem to recite for encouragement and self-confidence as I had for all my 35 years of public school teaching. In retirement, I recite “Cares” most every day to manage, maintain and sustain a positive response attitude to on-going change, occasional misfortune, worrisome uncertainty and to avoid the debilitating sin of self-inflicted discontent, disappointment and discouragement !
