When You Grow Up I Want to Tell You

This poem is dedicated to the youth of this generation and the generation next. Someone once asked why there is a need for a high standard in doing things. The answer is because it is required of us by the Creator. If there is no high standard, there is no refinement and the work of art will not last. We had benefited from the beautiful creations of the people before us: beautiful buildings, beautiful paintings, exalted music, wonderful prose and poetry. As those artists exceeded the expectations of their times, their contributions to the world continue to guide and inspire us today. Where we lack, maybe the next generation can fill. Where we fail, maybe the next generation can succeed. I can only agree with one of the great artists of our times, when he said "Artists are mere terminals of the higher power." When you grow up, I want to tell you,
When You Grow Up I want To Tell You
When you grow up, you should know your thoughts can move the world.
What you do, what you say, what you think affects everyone.
So tame your thoughts, watch your words, guard your actions.
The sages say there is a law of attraction. Your positive thoughts attract positive ideas, and negative thoughts attract negative ideas.
The earth that you live in has its own standards. It is alive. It approves. It rejects.
The air you breathe yearns to retain its purity.
The water you drink desires itself to be like a mirror in its cleanness, and vegetation depend on it.
Why not just plant a flower and enjoy its beauty? Why not sow seeds of kindness and reap gratitude? Why not sow goodwill and reap peace?
What you do, what you say, what you think affects everyone.
So tame your thoughts, watch your words guard your actions.
It is the key to a peaceful life. #
