       We Fret Not..

       [center] The fruitful life seeks rain as well as sunshine.
       The landscape, brown and dry beneath the sun,
       Needs but the cloud to life it into life;
       The dews may dampen the tree and flower,
       But it requires the cloud-distilled shower
       To bring rich greenness to the lifeless life.
       Ah, how like this, the landscape of a life:
       Dews of trial fall like incense, rich and sweet;
       But meaning little in the crystal tray --
       Like moths of night, dews lift at break of day
       And fleeting impressions leave, like lips that meet.
       But clouds of trials, bearing burdens rare,
       Leave in the soul, a moisture settled deep:
       Life stirs by the powerful law of God;
       And where before the thirsty camel trod,
       There richest beauties to life's landscape leap.
       Then read you in each cloud that comes to you
       The words of Paul, in letters large and clear:
       So will those clouds your soul with blessing feed,
       And with a constant trust as you do read,
       All things together work for good. Fret not, nor fear![/center]

       To true as the Lord would say "fear not". Not that easy to do
       when the mind works overtime.
       One of yours, Helen?
