Lifting Burdens

Such a long year,
My dear friend;
In having a fear,
It would not end.

But now we see,
The end of a line;
How it could be,
Turning out fine.

During 52 weeks,
How we may live;
While a man seeks,
On ways to forgive.

For holding a grudge,
One doing you wrong,
Causes you to judge,
Condemning so long.

Start the New Year right,
Giving God your plea;
Pray with all your might,
Lift the burden to be free.
