'' You'll Meet Your God With Your Head Held High ''

As the end of life draws nearer each day,
Remember it is never too late,
To correct mistakes there is always a way,
We receive only what we create.

None of us know just how long we will live,
Be it minutes, months or years,
If you make it your aim in life to forgive,
You will avoid the heartache and tears.

In life did you never cast the first stone?
Answer no and your truly blessed,
If you did then now's the time to atone,
You'll have no need to feel distressed.

Those you've offended may be taken aback,
But contrition is such a wonderful gift,
It can mend a relationship,put it back on track,
You'll no longer feel cast adrift.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do,
If you're genuine in achieving your aims,
Make a decision then just see it through,
To refuse to do so only inflames.

Living life bearing grudges will take its toll,
Bitterness carries a heavy price,
It will eat you up and invade your soul,
Leave you feeling as cold as ice.

Life is too short to carry on grief,
So take some time out to reflect,
Think of the benefits the feeling of relief,
When you gain back your own self-respect.

When you get back together the battle is won,
It takes courage to admit you were wrong,
Tears of joy are in order as you're conflict is done,
You will know this is where you belong.

For all alive there will come that time,
When the end of our life is nigh,
By discarding grudges you will feel so sublime,
