Assumptions

Do one’s assumptions that things will be hard 
Throw up barriers or prison bars 
Restrict them and others from their escape 
From the negativity that overtakes 
Their minds and hearts 

Does it claim the personal landscape
Cluttering, marring relationships made 
Confining one’s ways to those that won’t grow 
Withhold from them the freedom to know 
The joy of harmony 

Does it shut them in their own private guard 
Bent on reviewing only what’s hard 
It’s time to turn over a new furrowed ground 
Planting for positive thoughts to be found 
Expect new hope growing 

Whether in social or personal ways 
The words that we speak to ourselves everyday 
Color our landscape and tint each one’s view 
May false assumptions not block what is true
Plant positive affirmations
