Broken Dreams

  As children bring their broken toys
        with tears for us to mend,
   I brought my broken dreams to God
        Because He was my friend.

   But instead of leaving Him
        in peace to work alone,
   I hung around and tried to help
       with ways that were my own.

  At last I snatched them back and cried,
       "How can You be so slow?"
  "My child," He said, "what could I do?
         You never let them go."
