Exercise Your Mind Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

We begin to learn and think, at an early age,
why do so many, more or less stop,
when their life reaches, a certain stage.

So many get relaxed, in their style of life, satisfied in their mind,
never try to advance their skills,
or learn new knowledge, for the rest of their time.

Our mind and thoughts should grow everyday,
most of us have gone through many learning experiences,
to get where we are today.

Just because we are happy, with our life at this time,
doesn't mean we shouldn't look for other challenges,
testing the power, of our mind.

Look at your brain, as the biggest muscle in your body today,
it needs exercise, to stay sharp, or it will become, weak and flabby,
like our other muscles, not working for us, in the strongest way.

Nothing stays the same, everything changes, in some sort of way,
the more common, , sense and knowledge, we possess,
the easier our life could be, in future days.
