                       Old Rags

Let go of the old rags that you have held on to,
They represent the past,
Look at your hands and see what it is you are holding on to
Now let them go and see that I have turned them to a pile of ashes,
I am blowing the ashes away to reveal beauty.

Look now to see that where the ashes were is now gold,
This is your future.

Hold on the iron rod, for this is My word.
The iron rod will be your stability, 
Hold on to it as you walk in the paths 
that I have foreordained and set before you.
It will be your guide.
