I can not see why trials come, <br />And sorrows follow thick and fast; <br />I can not fathom His designs, <br />Nor why my pleasures can not last, <br />Nor why my hopes so soon are dust, <br />But, I can trust. <br /> <br />When darkest clouds my sky o'er hang, <br />And sadness seems to fill the land, <br />I calmnly trust His promise sweet, <br />And cling to his ne'er failing hand, <br />And, in life's darkest hour, I'll just <br />Look up and trust. <br /> <br />I know my life with Him is safe, <br />And all things still must work for good <br />To whose who love and serve our God, <br />And lean on Him as children should, <br />Though hopes decay and turn to dust, <br />I still will trust.<br /><br />Daniel Webster Davis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-can-trust/
