And That's Why You Are Mad?

Whatever it is that ticked you off
Made you mad or
Made you sad
Hurt your feelings
Really bad
Made you cry
And wonder why
Or just plain made you irate...
Is not important enough
To make you say regretful stuff
That will be with you till you die.
If you've never stood over a loved one
Who's dead and lying in state
And though things were good
And you did all you could
You think back to not so distant date
When you know you could've done more
But...then thought you would just wait.
What if you are standing there
Over the body of a loved one
Who died before you could forgive?
It is too late, now, for words and such
And will be with you as long as YOU live!
So, let it go. Forgive. Show love.
As our Father shows us.
