GOOD SEED BAD SEED

All evil things that have been done
Have started with a thought.
All murders, fights and robberies
And wars that have been fought.

A thought is like a little seed;
If nurtured it will grow,
Until it overtakes our life,
And then its fruit will show.

But love is much more powerful
And we can train our thoughts,
To overcome the bad seeds
As caring people ought.
