The Rooms Of The Mind

Good health will reside in the rooms of the mind
In those who are to God's wisdom inclined.
Wisdom will crowd out those thoughts which are ill
And all of the mind with good "health" will fill.

Sometimes dark thoughts will enter and hide.
Until wisdom enters, these thoughts will reside.
The searchlight of wisdom becomes as a screen,
And negative thoughts it will carefully glean.

If the rooms of the mind are healthy and well,
Wherever we are, in peace we will dwell.
A mind without conflict will have joy and rest,
For wisdom will cause it to always be blessed.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
