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

Thank you God for cleaning up my-self.
