Poem Artwork

When I was born,
someone said to me,
"God gave you two boxes,
a White one where to put
all your happy moments,
and a Black one to hide
all the sorrows
that you may have."

I got two boxes.

Then...
at my life's end,
inside the boxes
He will wish to see...
and I will show Him
that of happiness
the White box
contains none,
but the other,
by His wisdom
the Black box
without a bottom,
is the full one.

I enjoyed this very much...the black box is full of wisdom because we do learn from our mistakes and our misfortunes...but keep searching and living the white box just might fill up. Great write!
Blessings,

How sad!
Happiness should be felt within oneself first,
in order to receive happiness given by others.
If you cannot feel happiness within yourself,
you won't know the happiness when received.
How sad it is that one only thinks of sadness!!!
