Thrive

18. Thrive

I’m glad God is more forgiving than me
For it’s hard to forgive myself
There’s been a lot of wrong done that I can see
And it’s all bad for my health

Sometimes I wonder if this is all worth it
But I have to banish the thought
And try to overcome all of the regret
To open my eyes to see what I got

Without love, I know I cannot survive
So that’s why I sought it so hard
Without hope, I wouldn’t be able to thrive
I want love to pour from my heart

I abandon all hate and greed
And embrace love and truth
For love really will set us free
And it makes all the old new

So, perhaps it is worth the pain
This simple life I delve in
And I know as sure as the rain
That all my sins are forgiven
