MIND

Back of the deed is the doer,
Back of the doer the dream,
Back of the world as we see it,
Science of things as they seem
Waits the invisible spirit
Weaving an infinite scheme.
Mind is the monarch of matter,
Will is the master Of fate;
Whatever the soul may determine
That can it reach soon or late;
Thoughts have the gift and the power
That which we think to create.
More than the tongue ever uttered,
More than the eye ever saw,
Out of the uttermost glory
Unto yourself you may draw
In you are all things potential
When you discover the law.
