Hang on to these good things

A Walk Through Life

by jaybird1


I'll take greed and hate and envy
and send them along their way;
Hoping someday they won't bite me,
as I travel, day by day.

I'll save fear and grief and sorrow,
save them for some later date.
For in the course of human life,
they probably will await.

I'll save love, joy and compassion,
with hope they will guide me on;
For they're the passions guiding heart,
when the bad things are all gone.

With all these good things now in place-
I'm thankful for their saving grace.
