Sonnet: Life’s Higher Rungs

Life’s higher rungs are fraught with dangers more; The mountains steep are tough to climb till peak; The rain from higher clouds in torrents, pour; We cannot see the Almighty, we seek. If aim is high, the steps to reach aren't few; The risks we take are more if dreams are tall; In life, let problems never deter you; We can well climb a formidable wall. But plan, we must the steps we undertake; We soar to dizzy heights powered by will; Set-backs shouldn't or apply any brake; At times, we foresee problems by mock-drill. Nevertheless, the grace of God is prime; Man’s feats are blessed by prayer in God’s time. Copyright by Dr John Celes 16-08-2015
