A poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Thought-Magnets

________________________________________________
Title:     Thought-Magnets
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

With each strong thought, with every earnest longing
For aught thou deemest needful to thy soul,
Invisible vast forces are set thronging
Between thee and that goal

'Tis only when some hidden weakness alters
And changes thy desire, or makes it less,
That this mysterious army ever falters
Or stops short of success.

Thought is a magnet; and the longed-for pleasure,
Or boon, or aim, or object, is the steel;
And its attainment hangs but on the measure
Of what thy soul can feel.





[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Thought-Magnets
