Just Because

... some days I'm just melancholy. For some reason these days have lined up into what is decidedly a week, and show no sign of relenting. Bah. I like this poem though, for when I feel this way:

Learning To Lean
By Edna F. Sorrell

I thank Thee, Lord, for shattered dreams,
For overwhelming torrent streams
That swept away the very thing
To which I might have learned to cling.

I thank Thee, Lord, for trials sore,
That taught me how to trust Thee more;
For when I found no other stay,
I learned to lean on Thee each day.
