Cleaning House
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 God's 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
PAST
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New
Goals,
started reading it today.
I threw out hate and bad
memories,
(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've seen the dust.
I ran across an OLD
FRIEND,
haven't seen him in a while.
I believe his name is GOD,
Yes, I
really like His style.
He helped me to do some cleaning
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 Worry and Trouble
there just isn't any
place.
It's good to do a little house cleaning,
get rid of the old
things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter;
maybe you should
TRY
IT YOURSELF.
