To Count My Blessings

To count my blessings, I should know
Resentment, hatred have to go.
I cannot dwell on evil thought
Where pain and havoc always wrought
Despair and anguish-always pains.
To let it loose breaks years of chains.
To brush aside does not work
It makes my mind go berserk.
To forgive, to bless and pray
Drenches me in peace today.

Dear Barb

You are definitely right there.  We 'carry' so many grievances around that they weigh us down.  A heavy burden indeed.  Once we FORGIVE it sets us FREE.
