Sonnet: Life Is A Puppet Dance

Our earthly life is just a puppet-dance! We’re held by the strings from the hands of God; Only when He wants, can we look askance; Our life’s a stage: we’re puppets of clod. Our every move occurs per divine Will; God guides us always in our earthly role; Freedom, we’ve got: He gave us too our skill; We are His toys: We ought to reach His goal. God is the unseen One who plays His tune; We are mere vassals, doing our duty; Sin is our foe: no man is ev’r immune; God gives His grace to get Heaven’s beauty. Our role when over, He will give His call; Heaven’s wages to men of Goodwill all.
