DWELL ON THE GLADNESS
by: Nancy Neff Dostie
Life is too short
to dwell on my sorrows,
to harbour my grudges
in bitter tomorrows.
Life is too short
to dwell on my pain,
to play and re-play
some vengeful refrain.
Life is too sweet
to waste precious minutes
in nursing resentment,
self-reighteousness in it.
Then, let me not dwell
on life's sorrow and sadness.
O Lord, let me think
of life's blessings, with gladness!
