Boxes
I 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 stored 
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." 

We should consider all of our friends a blessing. 
Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are 
thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life. 

A ball is a circle, No beginning, no end. 
It keeps us together Like our Circle of Friends 
But the treasure inside for you to see 
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me. 

Today I pass the friendship ball to you. 
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you...
