DEV:God's kind care  by Anne Johnson Flint

   God hath not promised Skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways, All
our lives thro'; God hath not promised Sun without rain, Joy without
sorrow, Peace without pain.

   God hath not promised We shall not know Toil and temptation, Trouble
and woe; He hath not told us We shall not bear Many a burden, Many a
care.

   God hath not promised Smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel,
Needing no guide; Never a mountain, Rocky and steep, Never a river
Turbid and deep:

   But God hath promised Strength for the day, Rest for the labor,
Light for the way, Grace for the trials, Help from above, Unfailing
sympathy, Undying love.

   Annie Johnson Flint
