problems just tumbled about me
and heavier came each task
"why doesnt g-d help me." i wondered
he answered "you didnt ask."

i wanted to see joy and beuty
but the day toiled on bleak and gray
i wondered why g-d didnt show me
he said, "you didnt seek."

i tried to come into g-ds presents;
i used all my keys at the lock
g-d gently and lovingly chided
"my child you didnt knock."
