Take your hurt and burdens to your Gracious God
And leave them there with your Merciful Lord
Come back and focus on happy and joyous thoughts
And see what positivity and belief have brought
Look for lighter moments even in your heartache
Do it for your self and for your heart and soul's sake
Do not sink deep into sadness and lingering pain
Get up to smile brightly and enjoy life once again
There is so much to do and say in this little time
Let new feelings of hope build a smooth rhyme
Just nudge aside sadness and emptiness today
Any fear of self doubt and give healing it's way
And continue this journey and enter your blessed life
Remember to look for meaningful ways to here survive
Find emotional and physical strength of love and care
To lessen your pain and hurt of bitterness from the air
For life is like that so for peace and soul's sake
Look for lighter moments even in your heartache.
