I Threw
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 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
