THE DIFFERENCE
from a Prayer Book
I got up early one morning
And rushed right up into the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray
Problems fast tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me", I wondered.
He answered "you didn't ask".
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on me, gray and bleek.
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek".
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently, lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock".
I woke up gently this morning,
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
That I had to take time to pray.
