Sonnet- God Is So Merciful

A man who's good can't sin for long for God's Punishment will be on him in a trice; He turns a new leaf amidst many odds; His penitence saves him from further vice. The sinner, God ignores for long, long years; No doubt, He gives him chances to turn good; The poor man's prayers, Maker surely hears, Rescuing him from dangers of the wood. Why should God lose an Angel of Heaven? Ne'er would He barter one for a devil; 'Forgive, He says, 'Times seventy and seven.' God is still kind to ones who do evil. Let man not take advantage of God's heart Of love, forgiveness, but just do his part.
