Sonnet: All Is Well For The Upright

The righteous man need not fear anything; His path is leveled: freed from stones and thorns; He walks with ease: undaunted like a king; He sleeps by nights and travels by all morns. With Hope in heart, he journeys until dark; God leads him through untrodden ground safely; And every day, he reaches a new mark; He walks and runs if need be, so bravely! And wilderness can’t frighten him a bit; God’s protective mantle enshrouds his life; His body, mind and heart are always fit; He gets success, despite problems and strife. With soul all pure, he’s ready to Death woo; His life on earth is exemplary too. Copyright by Dr John Celes 7-15-2005
