It's Spring in Las Vegas

SPRING CLEANING


Last Week I threw our WORRING,
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,
and started reading it today.

I threw out CHILDHOOD TOYS
(remember how I treasured them so)?
GOT a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw out the ones 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 a special thing and
placed it 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 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.

Neat poem SG!

I am not sure it's spring in KY. We hd a terrible thunder, lightening, hail and wind storm yesterday. We had snow warnings this week that missed us as we looked outside to see daffodils, hyacinth, and forcythia in full bloom. I'll be glad when spring actually arrives.
