How can more be less

   When it is related to thoughts

The more thinking I am doing

   The more I have to keep track of

   The more I can fret about

   The more I can analyze

   The more I can figure out

If I am not careful I will be trapped in my head

   I will be so busy

   All I may experience is the 100 hundred monkeys jumping up and down

But what if I want less to be more

   Then I will just notice my endless thoughts floating by

   I can let them go right on by

Now I can see the more in less thinking 

   I can hear the birds singing

   I can see the clouds changing shape

   I can feel my breath

There is a whole new world out there

   There is a whole new journey inside here

   The here of this moment

   The here of my heart  

   The here where everything works for good

I believe I will choose the more in less

   I hope I won’t be trapped into thinking about it

But if I do that is fine because I will learn again

   What is more and what is less

I went to Carver Elementary School

   I met some wonderful students

   They were creating their own book

       Miss Cely was helping them become an artist

       They were sewing their own creation

I went to Carver Elementary School

   I met some new friends

   Who were learning how to write about themselves

      I was helping them become an author

     They were using their own words

I went to Carver Elementary School

   I met some young people I wanted to know

   The story of themselves told me so much

      What and who they liked  

      Which told me how special they are

I went to Carver Elementary School

   I will never be the same

   Because of those fifth graders

      Who will be in my heart forever more

I am so glad I went to Carver Elementary School one day
