392. When I write letters

```

When I write letters to God,

I tell Him how happy I am.

When I write letters to man,

I tell him how unhappy I am.

When I write to God,

I tell Him how fresh I am.

When I write to man,

I tell him how tired I am.

God’s replies are as follows:

“Dear son, since you are happy and fresh,

Then work hard and more for Me on earth.”

Man’s replies are as follows:

“Dear friend, since you are unhappy

And tired, we want to fire you.

We are looking for another instrument

To serve us,

To please us,

To fulfil us.”
