~ Whose Box Is This Anyway? ~
I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold.
With this, He said,
"Put all your sorrows in the black,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I store.
The black was as light as before,
Though the gold became heavier each day.
With curiosity, I opened the black box.
In the base of the box I saw a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out.
I showed the hole to God, and mused
aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could
be." He smiled a gentle smile at me.
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"The gold is for you to count your blessings,
the black is for you to let go."
