I
ANGER AND RESENTMENT
DO NOT A HAPPY PERSON MAKE
BUT IF YOU TAKE SOMEONE BY THE HAND
AND HOLD ON TIGHT
YOU MIGHT FIND THAT ALL THAT BAD FEELING
WILL DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT.
THAT SOMEONE’S HAND MIGHT BE IN TOUCH WITH GOD
SO KEEP HOLDING ON
UNTIL THE ANGER IS GONE.
II
GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU ACHE
AND FEELS YOUR PAIN FULL WELL
BUT HOLD HIS HAND AND BE PATIENT
HE’LL BEWORKING ON YOU FOR A SPELL.
III
SHARE YOUR HEART WITH OTHERS
UNTIL YOU CAN LET GO
AND THEN ANGER AND RESENTMENT
WILL BE BURIED IN WINTER’S SNOW.
BURIED OUT OF SIGHT
YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE IT
THE SNOW HAS PURIFIED IT AND
RELEASED YOU FROM ITS SIGHT.
SO CLEANSE YOUR HEART AND MIND
TILL ALL IS LEFT BEHIND
YOU’LL BE A BETTER PERSON
WITH CLEAN HEART AND MIND.
