Life’s Treasure Map
I remember as a child
What fun it was to find
Treasure of sorts
That someone had left behind
When you have not very much
This game can last for hours at a time
You would search the whole day
And maybe find a dime
As you get older
There is less of a struggle
So the child’s game gets forgotten
And you become a master of life’s juggle
You think you have it made
You now have competence
But you end up with just material things
And nothing of consequence
Life quickly becomes empty
And no one with which to share
You are lonely most of the time
You decide to send up a prayer
No, you don’t fall to your knees
Hands clasped together at your chest
You open your heart to the Universe
And it will do the rest
You get a poster board and make a treasure map
Cutting words and pictures from a magazine
Representing you and your desires
As you, and only you, have to set the scene
You choose your destiny carefully
What you would like to manifest
To be healthy, wealthy, and maybe a lover
Hoping someone will hear your request
You also write down exactly
What you are truly looking for
Address the letter to the Universe
And what you desire will come for sure
Your words must be specific
Clear and concise
Then burn the paper with a prayer
Sending to the sky without thinking twice
With this process you visualize a life
You would like to be living
Then you put the map away
And forget about it until maybe Thanksgiving
You will enjoy the process
Of this I am sure
And then one day
You will take it from your drawer
You will be amazed to find
What you have already achieved
Because what you have desired
You most likely have now received
You are what you think
Your mind is very clever
When it is open to all things
They continue to come forever
