I am a fan of the mind.
I celebrate what it does.

The mind is transformative:
It turns a mountain of a problem
Into a molehill of an obstacle;
It turns near defeat into victory;
It accepts defeat
With attitude and spunk that can alarm the victor!

I am a fan of the mind.
I celebrate what it does.

It makes the beauty of life felt;
The mundane of life wowed;
The thorns of life blunted.
It cheers the sullen.
It spins the impossible.
Yet, it can read reality
With precision like a dictionary.

It knows goals are endless
Like steps in life
Some need retries
Some you modify
Some need detours
Some you change
Some need reinterpretation
Some you abandon –
Having tried your best
But it learns from them
Like winners do
It knows goals are endless
Like steps in life

The mind works to win
To make the best of the worst
To better the best
To introspect
To self-correct
To course correct
To accept
It knows goals are endless
Like steps in life
Each breath
Gives hope
Each breath is life

I am a fan of the mind:
It falters, sometimes big time;
But it can be guided right…
With oversight… On this I’ll talk another time!
