Waiting...
Turn it Over to God
As children bring their
broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken
dreams to God,
because He was my friend.
But then, instead o
fleaving Him,
in peace, to work alone;
I hung around and
tried to help,
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back
and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said,
"What could I do?
You never did let go."
