Let us cast aside the hurts That rankle in the heart, Let’s try to mend old quarrels And make another start, Forgiving the old grudges And bitter words once said, Decide to fill our life with love And happiness instead. Harbouring resentment will Destroy our peace of mind, We find our views distorted, Unloving and unkind. Forgiveness is the gentle balm That comes like fresh Spring rain, Blessing all within its reach When we begin again.
