Sonnet: Rely In God

Like rider lone on horseback in desert, While vultures scream encircling overhead; To sun and wind and dusty storms inert, In quest of hope-filled plains, I ride half-dead! My horse is weary and I am tired; The mirage of an ‘oasis’ I see; The air I breathe is hotter expired; I need water and food and rest surely. And suddenly, I see a stream aflow! But it is full of crocodiles afloat! From one danger to another, I go; To cross the stream, God must give me His boat. The God who cared for me until today, Will surely guide me rest of my long way.
