Resentment

From: Precious Poems: A Journey of Hope*

Resentment is a sentiment

that I can ill afford.

So I just have to turn it loose

and give it to the Lord.

To pray for one who brought me pain

is more than I can do

in my own strength and power.

And yet I know it’s true

that when I nurse resentment,

it hurts me much more than you.

By holding on to bitterness,

I buy into the lie

that I can drink the poison

and wait for you to die.
