God's plans, like lilies pure and white unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart.
Time will reveal the many cups of gold
And if through patience still we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may rest
When we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we shall say that "God knows Best!"
