No Choice But Forgiveness

 When you're tempted to the rage

at a world so badly flawed,

take a breath and turn the page

and place it in the hands of God

for He alone can bring the healing

of your anger and your cares,

and in His love will be revealing 

of the path up Dolorosa's stairs.

So journey on, and take each day

as it comes, and thus forgive

what pains your soul, and then you may

find a better way to live,

the way that Christ has shown to you,

for they know not what they do.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is VACANT.

Set up a sign, No Vacancy,

when anger comes to call,

and when it knocks ensure there be

no space for it at all.

Fill the rooms with happiness,

fill the lounge with love,

and every inch of spaciousness 

will call to God Above 

to bid Him join the happy crew,

all joyous in the dance,

for the Christ makes all things new 

and it takes just a glance

for the cheery heart to know

anger's not welcome, and now must go.

Ice cream helps.
