Sonnet: Do I Expect Returns?

I did my best in crises period; The grace of God too helped me in my job; But no one seems to remember my good; I want to cry but cannot even sob. Not all who benefited did deserve; My good advice had fallen in deaf ears; At times, I regret, why I came to serve; Nevertheless, I treated most as dears. I never toiled with expectations great; I knew the world will back-stab me some day; I do not hate the ones who truly hate; God's wisdom helped me work well in some way. Yet, none will speak to favour me in life; I am too simple despite all my strife! Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-02-2015
