God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, 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,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave 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."

Hurting heart



Heart is the most deceitful thing of all. We love through it yet because of it also one can hurt others.


She was praised by the people around her because of her strong identity as a woman and a queen to the two princesses. She loves animals, doing household chores, cooking, eating and helping people around. In short she wants simple living.  Her two young lady loved her. They strive hard to be successful in life and make the queen proud.

One day, the queen who was known of her fierce look and brave heart of dealing issues in life became different and wild. Yes, wild as lioness who is crouching at your back willing to stretch out with her claws and leave a deep wound and mark on you.

Everyday was like a battle for the young ladies. A battle to prove to the Queen that amidst of her failed and painful love relationship in the past, there are people around her who is willing to listen of her stories to tell and love her wholeheartedly with no judgement of who she was, she is and will be. Yet, the warm loving heart of the queen was choked with bitterness. It becomes cold. It always judge. It always dwell in the wrong doings of the people who loved her and she once loved.

Since her loved abandoned her by choosing over the other woman, a deep wound, was left to her as a mark of her failed and painful love relationship.

The elder princess want to prove to the queen that she is not that kind of lady the queen is thinking. The elder princess is now getting hurt so deeply. It seems like her efforts of love is not appreciated by the queen. She felt useless. She felt guilty of the past, thinking that she is an evidence of sweet love that spark before yet turned to be sad, failed and painful love relationship. She knew  for sure that her sibling is also hurt within, yet tries to keep it on herself. She is worried as to what is going on her younger sister's mind.

 The younger princess is sanguine. She's emotional and a bit rebellious when hurt, that makes the elder princess worried.

On this cold night, the queens heart grows even colder. She is deeply hurt of her past that is why she is hurting other people, that includes the two young princess. Who has only a song book and a writing pad as their close friend.

Love does not keep any record of being wronged. It always forgives and hopes. Love is a wonderful feeling yet when deceived by the heart it can be hurt and hurt other people. Do not awaken love until it so desires.
