GOD’S BOXES
I have in my hands two boxes,Which God gave me to hold.He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box,And all your joys in the gold.”
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,Both my joys and sorrows I stored.But though the gold became heavier each day,The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,I wanted to find out why,And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,“I wonder where my sorrows could be!”He smiled a gentle smile and said,“My child, they’re all here with me.”
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,Why the gold and the black with a hole?“My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,The is for you to let go.”
