Sonnet: God Gave All Things Functions

Iron in Air unused can only rust; It should be beaten into useful things; All books unread will gather only dust; The ring-fingers are meant for wedding-rings! A mirror loses silvering with time; One’s face reflects the feelings of the mind; One’s activities depend on the clime; The jaws must move well in order to grind. All things must be to optimum use put; All things must be taken care of rightly; The hand cannot do things, done by the foot; The care of soul shouldn’t be taken lightly. All things God gave have functions numerous; Let’s thank the Lord for being generous. 6-18-2002 by Dr John Celes
