Housecleaning
Last week I threw out Worrying,
It was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I couldn't do things my way.
I threw out those inhibitions,
they were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth,
got rid of my old dreams and doubts.
I threw out a book on my My Past,
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals,
started reading it today.
I threw out childhood toys
(remember how I treasured them so?)
Got me a New Philosophy too,
threw out the one from long ago.
Brought in some new books too,
Called I Can, I Will, and I Must.
Threw out I Might, I Think, and I Ought.
Wow! You should have seen the dust!
I ran across an Old Friend,
Haven't seen Him in awhile.
I believe His name is God,
Yes, I really like His style.
He helped me do some housecleaning,
and added some things Himself.
Like Prayer, Hope, and Faith ~
Yes, I placed them right on the shelf.
I picked up this special thing
and placed it at the front door.
I found it ~ it's called Peace,
nothing gets me down anymore.
Yes, I've got my house looking nice,
looks good around the place.
For things like wrong and trouble,
there just isn't any place.
It's good to do a little housecleaning,
get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter;
maybe you should try it yourself!
