Sonnet: Soul-Needs Matter Much More Than Body Needs

Most try to do the things of transience; They want to live a life perfect to core; They're well aware God can't be reached by science! They're busy doing daily needs and chore. But Mary chose to listen to Christ Lord, While Martha was busy preparing food; To work alone, Martha could not afford; To Jesus she complained, losing her mood. But Jesus told her, ‘Mary did right thing; Soul-needs were far more important and prime; The soothing touch, the Word of God could bring; Engrossed in chores was Martha wasting time! ' When man goes after God, he gains His bliss; When man follows the world, heaven he'll miss! Copyright by Dr John Celes 20-07-2016
