God's Box Of Love

"God Box' from  - https://www.woodenurecover.com/

I held in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold,
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black,
And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two
My sorrows and joys I stored,
But though the gold became fuller each day,
The black was as light as before.

Curious, I opened the black box,
As 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 give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
He said, "The gold is to count your blessings,
And the black is for you to let go."
