April is National Poetry month! This poem was featured in Voice Magazine for Women (www.voicemonthly.com) and something I found very inspirational.
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 God's way.
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 HATE and BAD MEMORIES (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.
His name is GOD and - Yes - I really like His style.
He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH; yes I had a place for them and placed them right on.
I found this special thing and placed it at the front door.
What I found, it’s 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 space.
