There are no surprises to him who 

 has ordered his life. 



Who planted the tree at his window 

 ledge is not surprised that birds 

 should come singing there. 



Who nurtured the shrub by 

 his garden wall is not sur- 

 prised when the roses bloom. 



Who set his tent by a 

 heaven-blue lake is not sur- 

 prised at morn that great white 

 swans are resting near.

I will find my joy — • 



Not in a bed of hothouse roses, but in a way- 

 ward roadside flower. 



Not in an August seashore, but in a hidden 

 woodland stream. 



Not in a stately ocean liner, but in a tiny boat that 

 drifts and dips and trails among the water Ulies. 



Not in the emblazoned halls of revelry, but 

 out imder the quiet stars. 



From My Little Book of Prayer*
