God's Boxes

I have 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 boxes both my joys and sorrows I stored.

But though the gold became heavier each day, the black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black 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, the gold is for you to count your blessings,

The black is for you to let go".
