Sonnet: My World At Times

Like insect trapped in spider’s silky web, Like drowning man, caught in the mighty seas, My sufferings in life don’t seem to ebb; I feel much robbed of health and my mind’s peace. Like man slipping into a swampy mud, Like deer that’s trapped within a lion’s den, My life’s flower remains ever a bud! But God blossoms it despite evil men. Like lamb hunted by pack of devilish wolves, Like man fallen when pushed into a well, The world around me mocks, rebukes, revels, Making my life on earth almost a hell! But I don’t bother, God is beside me; He rescues me in time safely, surely!
