Bitterness is a bitter pill,
that at times we all swallow
causing a pool of self pity
where misery loves to wallow.
At first, the acid taste,
doesn’t bother us too much
for we feel justified in our pain
and to our anger we still clutch.
As we take our daily dose,
our sweet revenge turns a little tart
but we don’t seem to notice
as the root of spite buds in our heart.
We take our correct measure,
each morning when we awake
for we are not willing to forgive
and aren’t wanting to forsake.
The cure for bitterness,
can’t be found in any kind of pill
but you will find the treatment
when you learn to know God’s will.

Ephesians 4:31
” Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and
evil speaking be put away from you, with all
malice. ”

About Deborah Ann Belka
I was born into the family of God when I was eleven years old and have rededicated my life almost every day since.
I believe my walk with the Lord, is step-by -step, hour-by-hour, and sometimes minute-by-minute. Each day, I press on towards the goal in front of me, to be more like Him, but I often fail. By His grace and mercy, I can always count on Jesus to pick me up and set me back on His path.
One day, I know I will be perfect and my walk with Him will be as it should, but until I see Him in heaven . . . I just keep on keeping on . . . knowing He has his eye on me, his sparrow.
Thank you for reading my poetry, I pray God will use them to speak to those who are in need of their words and pray that God will bless you and guide you into His truths.
In His Love,
Deborah Ann Belka
