Sonnet: What Joy!

I lost a book and found it at long last; The joy when I saw it again was great; I lost many other things in the past; I searched my house entire like a feat! I lost my poem new and almost cried; My heart just leapt with joy when I found it; I lost my wealth-details and almost died; God gave them back after I prayed a bit. What joyful tears filled father’s eyes when came His prodigal son after many years! What joy afilled a mother’s heart when blame- Afreed daughter returned home without fears! The joy that fills heaven when souls are saved Cannot be imagined by minds God gave! Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-6-2006
