Respect

Sometimes in anger words are said Rage prevails, venom flows The bitterness inside your head Your heart is cold, your feelings froze You fight those feelings from inside It is ripping you apart You put your common sense aside With hatred in your heart You've never known respect at all In this angry life you live You built your dreams and watched them fall Never learning how to give Reach out for Him and take His hand Let your heart in His reside It was for you the cross He manned It was for you He died If you have faith, if you believe Hang on till the hurt has past You'll find respect and no longer grieve You'll find peace and love at last.

Lack of self respect only leads to trouble... the hollowness you feel inside causes anger and bitterness. Fill the space with faith and love and the emptiness disappears. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith
