##CLEANING~~OUT##


(Submitted By Kaye Edwards)

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 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'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 thing's 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 - its 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
I Leave that to God to Erase.


  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.
