Until I learned to trust,<\/p>\n
I never learned to pray;<\/p>\n
And I did not learn to fully trust<\/p>\n
Till sorrows came my way.<\/p>\n
Until I felt my weakness,<\/p>\n
His strength I never knew<\/p>\n
Nor dreamed \u2018til I was stricken<\/p>\n
That he could see me through.<\/p>\n
Who deepest drinks of sorrow,<\/p>\n
Drinks deepest, too, of grace;<\/p>\n
He sends the storm so he himself<\/p>\n
Can be our hiding place.<\/p>\n
His heart, that seeks our highest\u2014GOOD\u2014<\/p>\n
Knows well when things annoy;<\/p>\n
We would not long for heaven<\/p>\n
If earth held only joy.<\/p>\n
William G. Coltman<\/i>1296<\/p>\n
Oh, you tears,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m thankful that you run.<\/p>\n
Though you trickle in the darkness,<\/p>\n
You shall glitter in the sun.<\/p>\n
The rainbow could not shine if the rain refused to fall;<\/p>\n
And the eyes that cannot weep are the saddest eyes of all.<\/p>\n
Charles Mackay<\/i>1297<\/p>\n
I walked a mile with Pleasure;<\/p>\n
She chatted all the way,<\/p>\n
But left me none the wiser<\/p>\n
For all she had to say.<\/p>\n
I walked a mile with Sorrow<\/p>\n
And ne\u2019er a word said she;<\/p>\n
But, oh, the things I learned from her<\/p>\n
When Sorrow walked with me!<\/p>\n
