THE PRESENCE

From early morn through late hours, one thought absorbed his mind,

To build his strength through exercise and healthful food combined,

Success was his and honors too, gold medals thee, then four,

Through dedications power of will, that strengthened inner core.

A body built through exercise a strength and power reflects,

Just so the mind's activities, the mental strength projects.

Electromagnets storing power, latent deep within,

So core beliefs can motivate beliefs will power and discipline.

To carry on in spiritual growth, as mind is exercised,

Beliefs can reform, and lives transform, as patterns are revised.

To show results as to ourselves and friends, we generate

A loving , useful attitude with mind and soul true mates.

To face life with its challenges, its present point of power,

As silent strength builds in the mind, through meditations hour,

The mind, a window to the world, attuning with the soul,

Believing, so desires within, may reach their outward goal.

Then helping those along the way, this attitude makes clear,

The spirit that is built within, the precepts to revere.

The lessons that the Bible showed, the oneness with all things,

The strength and healing can come from power stored within.

Beliefs we choose are like the paint an artist's pallet holds,

Dispersed upon the canvas face,a picture will unfold.

When these beliefs no limits know, convincing us we can,

From thoughts will come reality, to form at our command.

As limitations are released we cast out doubts and fears,

True wisdom, health or wealth - all those needed things,

will move within our sphere. much like the strength of wings.
