Just a few thoughts I had about the open and shut options for living....
If I have a closed mind
I might just find
I no longer see beauty.

If I have a closed heart
I might just start
To perform acts from duty.

If I have a closed soul
I am no longer whole.

With an enquiring mind
I am not blind
I search for the complete scene.

With an accepting heart
I don't depart
From feeling, toward love lean.

If I think of my soul,
I choose an active role.

A truly open mind
Is rare to find.
No easy path to follow.

With a true loving heart
There is no part
Of false, shallow or hollow.

If God is in my soul
Heaven can be my goal.
