363. Fortune-teller and fortune-bestower
When man the fortune-tellerPromises me a bright future
My heart of gratitude
Makes his present immediately brighter.
But when God the fortune-bestower
Promises me the brightest future
My impatient heart of ingratitude
Questions God’s sincerity
And
Questions His motive.
