"Keep this for me." What child has not said this, And placed a treasure in his Mother's hand With strict injunction she should keep it safe Till he return? He knows with her it will be safe; No troubled thought or anxious fear besets his mind, And off he runs light-hearted to his play. If children can so trust, why cannot we, And place our treasures, too, in God's safe hand; Our hopes, ambitions, needs, and those we love, Just see them, in his all embracing care, And say with joyous heart, "They are with Thee." |
