When Closed Minds Open

Like pieces in so many puzzles

Sometimes when we look hard enough

The pieces to life's puzzles finally appear

When and where we least expect them

The missing corner pieces

That a new life can be built out of

The key pieces to the foundation of success

Finally, finally become apparent

They gradually show themselves

In the daily routine

In the daily dredge

Appearing as if out of a fog

But little do we know at first

They were always there

We simply have to look for the sign

We simply have to have an open mind

Look to days long past

For good things to change

Look to days long past

For good things to rearrange

To truly change your thinking

Look to great minds of yesteryear

Look to creative minds of yesterday

To truly change your thinking

Know their lives

Know their sorrows

Learn from their ups

Learn from their downs

Discover what made them different

Discover what made them unique

Let their effort not be lost

Let their effort not be forgotten

Gather the experiences of great men and women

Gather the experiences of great individuals

Remember what only one has done

Remember what one can do

Pluck from their trees of experience

Pluck from their trees of wisdom

Plant their seeds of knowledge

Plant their seeds of hope

Find their forgotten truths

Find these forgotten sleuths

Find the many puzzles of their lives

Find the many pieces of their lives

Sew the wisdom of their lives

Sew the experience of their lives

Sew the many ideals

Sew all that appeals

Bake pies of possibility

Build puzzles of true ingenuity

Weave quilts of quiet quality

Wait for inner tranquility
