The Answer

By Jessie Brown Pounds

[Jessie Brown Pounds, in S. S. Times]
God set a task. I whispered, "Why? I needed not an added care; O'erburdened even now am I, And thou hast given another's share."
God spoke not. To my work I bent, But ah! it was too great for me; And down upon my knees I went, My utter need my only plea.
"God, give me strength," I cried aloud; "Give me Thy strength, or I shall die!" He smiled upon me as I bowed, And said, "Now, child, thou knowest 'Why.'"
