Poezie 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.
