The Two BoxesI have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I store
But though the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as before
With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out by
I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me.
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
the black is for you to let go."
so, i have a lot to be thankful for.
but, why is tt when we attain our goals, we want more and more and more.
and then, we aren't statisfied with what we've achieved any longer.
funny isnt it? the way the human mind works.
sometimes, moments are sparked off.
moments when i sit and think and question things tt hv been going on in my life, times when i question my relationships with others and try to distance myself. (:
sometimes, i have a lot of these moments.
but its the thing tt keeps me sure that i have friends - real friends.
i was randomly reading my previous posts and it dawned on me again how elaine supported me when i needed her most. a bus ride is all we need to trash things out. haha. i love u babe.
and i also saw tt there has been a whole lot of "politic-ing" between harjinder and myself. sometimes, i ask myself wld we still be friends, in the true sense of the word if not for the councillors and elaine? we've been thru a lot of unnecessary crap but, she's someone i've came to adore. haha. (=
and i love her. much.
and, i love HIM many many too.
once loved.
