Clutter Clutter Everywhere

Is there some clutter in your home?

---

Clutter clutter everywhere 
There’s so much clutter all over 
When we moved to a new house 
There was no time to set up everything 

We tried to start living with the basic things 
And slowly take away one by one 
And I was doing it
Until my dear daughter 

One day decided 
That the closet was also 
Her toy room
And hauled everything to one side 

To make space 
For her own private space to hide 
And so it stayed 
Like that all this while 

Sometimes 
When things get out of your hand 
It can feel so overwhelming 
So much so that 
You don’t want to do anything to it 

That was the sorry state of my closet 
For a couple months now 
I wanted to get in there 
And straighten everything out

But I just couldn’t even think about it
Until tonight 
Tonight something shifted in me 
And I got started 

A few hours later 
Probably four 
The closet finally resembles 
Some closet like feel to it

 But what happened?
Mice got in!
How?
Not really sure about it

But we saw droppings 
In the bedroom 
In the kitchen
Under the sink
And that wasn’t a pretty sight to see 

I had to get in there 
And sort everything out
So I could call the pest control company 
Right away asap

Sometimes even mice can become our savior 
Lol
Because had they not entered
My closet and therefore home 
Would been unkempt
For God only knows how long!

But thanks to the lovely mice 
That got in somehow 
My closet is finally sorted out
Organized 
Boxed in

And my heart  
It’s clear now 
Clutter free also 
Empty

The heaviness it endured for so long
Poof! Gone! Tossed out!
Now the only thing that remains 
Is to give away 

All the unused clothes 
That’s I’ve put to one side 
After washing them 
Yet again 

And once I can do that 
And give away all the unused stuff 
That’s left in the garage 
Which really isn’t much 

And backyard 
Just the stroller
Infant Car seat 
And washed and ready old shoes

Then my home will be ready 
To live in finally
When my sons get here 
For thanksgiving 
And Christmas 

Phew!
Thank you dear mice! 
Sometimes even tiny mice 
Can come to your rescue!

Think about this!
Peace ✌🏽
