Default

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the red,
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 red was as light as before

With curiosity, I opened the red
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 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 red with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The red is for you to let go."
