'Thoughts Of The Mind' Poem by Linda Winchell

You may be today where your thoughts have brought you
And you might remain where your thoughts take you tomorrow.
You may think you have all the time to go and sort it out
But it’s just time that you’ll try to borrow.

It is hard to fight an unseen enemy
Who sets up their outpost in your mind.
Go ahead now try to defeat them
They are of a much different and crazy kind.

The mind can be a treacherous place to visit
If it is not where in God should be.
It can take you to some far off darkened corners
And obscure what vision that you think, you’ve seen.

So tread lightly when your feeling down
And go to God to ask for Him to guild.
This is the only way you can ever control
The devils work that is going on inside.

Thoughts can forge a person’s character
The impact on your life to carry on.
Some people I know
Greet this concept with no concern
Just wanting their space and freedom
From what they’ve grown fond.

Take heed my weary traveler
For without God as your guiding light.
Your mind may bring you its unending sorrows
Of its mental torment
Without God, can’t fight.
