The Poison of Assumption

Eyes that see only what they please,

May never know the truth.

Hands that clasp only to the past

May never move on through.

Assumptions made will build gates

To keep those closest out.

Open minds will be the water

That helps the seedling sprout.

A great seedling without water

Is nothing but a seed.

But a great seedling nourished

Will be an even greater tree.
