Notes About The Poem

Jesus said:

"AS YE BELIEVE, SO BE IT UNTO YOU."

Homemade Trouble

Don't sit amide the ashes,
Of your by-gone mistakes.
Should-a, would-a, could-a,  didn't,
Just increases heartaches.

Hashing and rehashing,
Each and every curse,
Only serves to stir the pot,
And makes a bad thing worse.

Sit back and look at what's occurred,
And learn from what you've done;
So history won't repeat itself,
And life can be more fun.

Change whate'er you need to change.
Form new and better habits.
If there's a lifeline to be found,
Reach out your hand and grab it.

Look for good in everything,
And never pick a fight.
Spread good will and be of help.
Keep this goal in sight.

You'll find your burdens lighter.
Your dues will all be paid,
Once you finally realize,
Most troubles are homemade.
