Dwell
on the Gladness
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-righteousness
in it.
Then,
let me not dwell
On
life's sorrow and sadness,
O
Lord, let me think
Of life's
blessings, with gladness!
