Sonnet: Be Useful In Life

What use is Gold as biscuits, nuggets, dust? Put it to use and never keep idle; Unlike Iron, may be it can nev'r rust; How nice to see it made into jewel! A jewel's beauty depends on design; 'Tis glorious when studded with precious stones; The golden chalice holds Christ's bread and wine; Gold kept in museums looks better when worn. Our virtues, talents, good deeds are like gold; On no account, these must be laid to rest; Use them for good of others manifold; Use them for sake of God and be thou best. God-given gifts are meant for better use; For human upliftment, not for disuse.
