Keep This For Me

Keep This For Me

Keep this for me."

What child has not said this,

and placed a treasure in his mother's hand

with strict instruction she should keep it safe

Till he return?

He knows with her it will be safe;

No troubles thought or anxious fear besets his mind.

And off he runs lighthearted to his play.

If children can so trust, why cannot we,

And place our treasures, too, in God's safe hand;

Our hopes, ambitions, needs and those we love,

Just see them in His all-embracing care, and say with a joyous heart,

"Keep these safe for me."
