God Only Gives

God only gives what we can handle, 
Or so the expression goes.
Is that the truth, we get overwhelmed,
Does anyone really know?

It is true! It is true! He lays upon us
Justly, as he selects
We must have faith in Him , in ourselves,
In storms, still stand erect.

We must bear the burdens, our own crosses,
In life, to reach above.
So take on the problems, try with a smile,
Remember to always love.

Love will assist us. His grace will as well.
He’ll be there for us in need.
I know it seems dark, but there is a light
He’ll be there when you succeed.


Keep the Faith and always keep going!
