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 them 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 and OLD FRIEND
I haven't seen in a while.
His name is GOD, and "Yes!",
I really like His style.
He helped me to do some cleaning
and added some things Himself,
Like PRAYER and HOPE and FAITH,
Yes I placed them right on the shelf.
I placed a special thing called PEACE
right at the front door.
Now, I'm happy to say,
nothing gets me down anymore.
Yes, I've got my house looking nice -
Feels good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble,
I no longer have to face.
Its 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.
