ATTITUDE

Life becomes what we put into it
how much we live His way,
if we’re positive or negative
to live out our every day.

With our eyes trained on the negative
it will surely come our way,
when we sow bitter seed to others
the fruits of bitterness will be our pay.

Wasting God’s gift of precious time
on all that’s negative,
He came to show us by example
just how we are to live.

When we dwell upon the positive
like a stone skipped on the water,
it will ripple out to others
bring a harvest to His altar.

For what we sow, so shall we reap
He taught us this so long ago,
so let us sow the positive
and watch all His children grow.

Then all will reap the benefits
and finally learn to share,
all that we have with others
show love to people everywhere.
