Yesterday was the perfect day for it, Lord:
some morning clouds gave way
to a warm, sunny afternoon in May -
and it was my day off!
It was the perfect day to;
wash my car sand clean out the trunk,
to stow away gloves and ice scrapers,
to gather up the Christmas CD's,
to make room for my beach chair
and throw a towel and some sunscreen
in a big canvas bag...
It was the perfect day to
vacuum the floor mats,
organize the glove box,
sort everything stored behind my visors,
and clean the dash and all around
with handy, pre-moitened Armorall wipes...
It was the perfect day to
take my clean car for a spin,
all windows open, all the way down,
Vivaldi's Four Seasons, spring of course,
cranked up on my CD player...
Last fall and winter's grime and trash
are cleaned and put way, Lord,
and it's such a good feeling
on such a great day!
So now, Lord,
help me do for myself,
for my heart and soul,
a little spring cleaning -
or maybe a lot!
Help me sort through and trash
what I no longer need,
cleaning deep, everywhere,
underneath and behind...
Help me brush and polish
what's dusty and dull,
wiping clean to a shine
what's been let go too long...
Help me walk into spring,
my heart opened wide,
with the song of your presence
full voiced in my soul,
giving glory and praise
to your holy name...
Amen.
