Pulling Out Each Weed

 

Pulling Out Each Weed

Learning to let go

Comes in many ways I know

Items that you kept, that you no longer need

Takes up space in life's garden, pull it like a weed

Time to get rid of things, that have been put away

Never to be used again, it doesn't need to stay

It's not easy, to say goodbye to something in your home

I valued it more than I should have, I know I'm not alone

As the years go by, each item that is here

I look over carefully, some need to disappear

Hold it up, and bring it close to your heart

If it doesn't call out to it, then it must depart

Little by little, I rid myself of things

Each day I wake up, a little less it clings

Maybe someone else will value it, my time is done

So I'll pass it on, so they can have some of that fun

I'll keep what means the most, to my very heart

I know for me, that this is just a start

Every week, that I get rid of stuff that I don't need

Will be like life's garden, pulling out each weed

Letting go of things you no longer need is like pulling

out weeds. It leaves the flowers alone, and they can

shine so much brighter. There are other things that

mean so much more. These weeds can be let go. Let

someone else cherish the weed as a flower. It became

a weed in your life. It's served its purpose, and now

must carry on in a new home. I shall continue to pull

out weeds, for the rest of my life. But what the heck,

it'll give me something to do during the winter and

rainy days.
