Sonnet: As Human Beings, We All Have Problems

Which man on earth is free of all problems? We earthlings face both happiness and woes; All can’t be Gold, Diamonds or uncut Gems! Sad days come to both friends and even foes. The richest man on earth has problems too, And spends much time in trying to them solve; The poorest men on earth have suffered; so Men can’t their problems on their own resolve. The secret tool that helps all is prayer! We ought to pray for ourselves, friends and foes; The Godless men like rain-less trees wither! Prayers help men to solve problems and woes. Pray from your heart to God whenev’r you can; Alone, you cannot gain Heaven, O Man! 6-9-2001
