Peace Found

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.

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 he is known as GOD;

yes, I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning

and added some things Himself.

Like HOPE and FAITH;

yes, I placed them right on my shelf.

I picked up this special thing

and placed in 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 all around the place.

For things like WORRY 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!
