FAITH

"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
Til 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."
