Allah knows what's best for us

Found this poem in nst during standard 5 (?!). It IS quite some time ago yet I still remember it. Well, it is a thought provoking one (to me at least). Maybe many has read it but it's nice to be reminded isn't it...

Allah knows what's best for us
So why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain

We always want the laughter
And the merriment of cheer
But our hearts will lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear

Allah tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
But to help us meet tomorrow

For growing trees are strengthened
If they can withstand the storm
And the sharp cut of the chisel
Gave the marble its grace and form

Allah tests us often
And for every bit of pain
Provided we are patient
Is followed by rich gain

So whenever we are down
And feels that everything is going wrong
It is just Allah's way
To make our spirit strong
