Sonnet; My Life Till Date

I dug the ground so deep but got no oil; I climbed the mountain steep; didn’t see its peak; I sowed the seeds so well but ’twas poor soil; I wrote in English swell but knew no Greek. I’ve labored hard; I’m yet to reap results; My honesty hasn’t paid me dividends; I’ve patiently received umptine insults; I’ve tried in life my best to make amends. Yet, God hasn’t been unkind in big a way; The things He does is for my good always; He will give me in His time my D-day; I need His wisdom and His immense grace. God cares and loves me tho’ I don’t deserve! Whatever happens still, I must Him serve. 6-24-2002 by Dr John Celes
