Taking the Trash Out

i will hold onto the diamonds in my soul
i will keep the bits of gold in my heart
and never let go of the wealth
securely banked in  my mind

richness will always be found near
as long as i don't let the garbage pile up

wipe the counter after every meal
so that when i come to cook again
i have a nice clean surface to work with

if the knife grows dull
sharpen it

if the pan is dirty
wash it

if the trash is full
take it out

and if i need to plant and grow roses by midnight
then get the seeds in the soil

nothing happens
without action
