God's Boxes
I came across this poem and find it beautiful. Now I hope you know about this poem too.May you too be blessed with this poem...God's BoxesI have in my hands two boxesWhich God gave me to hold.He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black boxAnd all your joys in the gold."I heeded His words, and in the two boxesBoth my joys and sorrows I stored.But though the gold became heavier each dayThe black was as light as before.With curosity I opened the blackI wanted to find out why.And I saw, in the base of the box, a holeWhich 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 boxesWhy the gold, and the black with the hole?"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessingsThe black is for you to let go."----Author Unknown------
