THE POWER OF RIGHT THOUGHT

Myrtle Ella Robertson

If only we would watch our thinking,Would think about the beautiful, the true,The good, the pure, the perfect, the enduring,Become enamored of the heavenly view,These precious things in thought could not be hidden,But they would manifest themselves in lifeAnd by the power in them deliverThe world from sickness, sorrow, strife!
