Too Tough<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cThe road is too rough,\u201d I said, \u201cDear Lord, there are stones that hurt me so.\u201d And He said, \u201cDear child, I understand, I walked it long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there\u2019s a cool green path,\u201d I said; \u201cLet me walk there for a time.\u201d \u201cNo child,\u201d He gently answered me, \u201cThe green path does not climb.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy burden,\u201d I said, \u201cIs far too great, How can I bear it so?\u201d \u201cMy child,\u201d He said, \u201cI remember the weight; I carried My cross, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n
But I said, \u201cI wish there were friends with me Who would make my way their own.\u201d \u201cOh, yes,\u201d He said, \u201cGethsemane Was hard to bear alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
And so I climb the stony path, Content at last to know That where my Master had not gone, I would not need to go.<\/p>\n
And strangely then I found new friends, The burden grew less sore; And I remember\u2014long ago He went that way before.<\/p>\n
