THANKS BE TO THE MAN FROM GLAD

I got rid of a lot of garbage
that had collected in my head.
I put it in a bag for God
and let myself be led.

the thick and heavy rubbish
that had poisoned up my mind
disappeared and things got clear,
I left some pasts behind.

Windows started to open,
fresh breezes blew right in.
I peered down deep into my soul
where I had never been.

Answers came in torrents,
disclosures came in dreams
and a peace came down around my heart
that quieted inward screams.

My view of the world is different,
I have truths to carry within
and I work to keep the garbage
From accumulating again.
