Sonnet: On My Future

I do not change my future on my own; God has been doing that for me till now; Amidst my earthly problems, I’m alone; Nevertheless, I’m safe: I don’t know how? Some people work all by themselves in life; Their trust in themselves is more than in God; They scheme to drive out penury and strife; Nevertheless, they get their earthly rod. The one who puts his trust in God is wise; His peace of mind and heart are excellent; The one who trusts himself lands up in vice; He wastes his precious time that God has lent. Have faith in God and future looks alright; The atheist does suffer sad a plight. Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-9-2008
