Spring Cleaning

Dear Lord it’s that time of year again

And my wardrobe is in need of changing

This attitude I’m wearing is all worn out

And my life is in need of re-arranging.

They say that forgiveness is “in” this season

I think I’ll try some on and see

If I discard some old fears, and put on some new smiles

There’d be considerable improvement in me.

I realize some times that these feelings

Are hurt, regret and despair,

There are people who don’t know my problems

And many who don’t even care.

Sometimes it makes me so angry

When others make light of our pain,

But is that MY problem not theirs

Are we really not all just the same?

We judge, we have sorrows and triumphs

In life’s little up and it’s downs

Can we not trade our questions for answers

And make smiles out of all of these frowns?

I’d hate to be caught wearing outdated sadness

And laughter is chic as can be

Do you think if I change my whole wardrobe

I would show the happy, blessed person who’s me! J
