SAVE UTTERANCE FOR GOD


by: Roxie Lusk Smith


Some people talk of their losses;
Some talk of their troubles and pain;
All speak of defeat and of crosses,
But seldom of prosper and gain.

Some total the side of the ledger
That inked in the red of the trial;
They note where their tears spot the pages,
But never keep record of smile.

They grumble of wealth that eludes them,
And whine at their everyday lot
Instead of recounting the blessings
God's justice and wisdom has brought.

I will not join ranks of complainers
Whobarter with pity and trends;
For I've seen enough of God's goodness
To know where His mercy extends.
