I’m cleaning my closet and throwing away

The ill-fitting garments I wear every day:

Frustration, self-pity and nervous distress,

It’s time to give anger and envy a rest.

Once I am emptied, there’ll finally be space

For all the bright colors my grumbling’s displaced.

I’ll wear silks of joy along with a smile

And gratitude that never goes out of style.

Love fits all sizes, you’re always well-dressed

When you count all the times you’re abundantly blessed.

Blessings are pearls on a fine silver chain,

They’re wrapped up in rainbows regardless of rain.

Though there’ll always be clouds to darken the night

If you sweep out your heart, you’ll mirror marvelous light.
