Woman of No Time

I am the woman

Who has no time,

I envy those who have

They envy me for having none.

My desire is to plant forests

But I only manage shrubs,

I want to run one million races

When I barely manage one.

Yet I know I'm not a fly born in the summer dawn

And dead in the afternoon,

My day is a pomegranate

Full of ruby grains --

Time must be my friend!

Stopping me from tasting them all at once

So I can enjoy them one by one.

As long as each grain is a lifetime

I do not care if I am the woman of no time.

House Cleaning!!!

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)?

Bought 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- 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.

It's 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.
