"child of My Love. lean hard.
let Me feel the pressure of your care.
I know your burden, child. I shaped it--
I poised it in My own hand and
made no proportion of its weight to your unaided strength.
for even as I laid it on, I said I shall be near,
and while she leans on Me, this burden shall be Mine, not hers.
so shall I keep My child within the circling arms of My own love.
here, lay it down. do not fear to impose it
on a shoulder which upholds the government of worlds.
yet closer come. you are not near enough.
I would embrace your burden,
so I might feel My child reposing on My breast.
you love Me. I know it.
doubt not, then. but, loving me, lean hard."
