the difference
Poetry :
I got up early one morning
and rushed right up into the day.
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems fast 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 me, gray and bleek.
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, lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke up gently this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
