The Thought Is Father To The Deed Poem by Terence George Craddock

there are mantras various prayers words of wisdom written
in many major religions often in inspiring wisdom words
in energised verse poetry these prayers mantras alter thought

pattern processes the thought is father to the deed

we are slaves to thought what we think believe affirm
becomes entwined in personality we act in response
to thoughts we harbour dwell on give our time energy

power of thoughts to we can will become in time what
we believe today if life long sustained some will seek
peace in yoga meditation beautiful gentle places if such

places do not exist where we live we can create them
within the power of our own focused mind imagination
in a sanctuary of thoughts spun life changing thoughts
