Lost and Found

“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.”  ~ Martin Luther, Family Groups, Al-Anon. Courage to Change—One Day at a Time in Al‑Anon II 

My hands, I drop what I hold
or need to pick up something else,
put the other somewhere I falsely believe
I can find it. I can’t. God can.
I hope to heck I have the courage
and forethought and trust
to let Him have it so that
when I need it most
it’s there for me, safe and sound.
