I THREW IT OUT
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
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
 there just isn't any place.

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.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
Be kind,
for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
