Cleaning Cupboards

Today while clearing out cupboards
With neat, housecleaning art
I suddenly decided
To clean the cupboards of my heart.

I threw out criticism
To the trash pile – to the fire!
I put in appreciation
And worthwhile thoughts that will inspire.

I threw out condemnation,
Which says, you’re wrong, I’m right!
I put in consideration
For all folks, brown, black and white.

Yes, out went complaining,
Grumbling about trivial things
I put in smiles and laughter,
To ease the tensions each day brings.

Friends, let’s all clean our cupboards,
With help from God above
Throw out pride and hatred, too
Put in humility and love.
