THE DIFFERENCE
I GOT UP EARLY ONE MORNING
AND RUSHED RIGHT INTO THE DAY.
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PRAY.
PROBLEMS JUST TUMBLED ABOUT ME,
AND HEAVIER CAME EACH TASK.
"WHY DOESN'T GOD HELP ME?" I WONDERED.
HE ANSWERED, " YOU DIDN'T ASK."
I WANTED TO SEE JOY AND BEAUTY,
BUT THE DAY TOILED ON, GRAY AND BLEAK;
I WONDERED WHY GOD DIDN'T SHOW ME,
HE SAID, " BUT YOU DIDN'T SEEK."
I TRIED TO COME INTO GOD'S PRESENCE;
I USED ALL MY KEYS AT THE LOCK.
GOD GENTLY AND LOVINGLY CHIDED,
"MY CHILD YOU DIDN'T KNOCK."
I WOKE UP EARLY THIS MORNING,
AND PAUSED BEFORE ENTERING THE DAY.
I HAD SO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT I HAD TO TAKE TIME TO PRAY.
