True Achievements

Each human feat is not by own effort; Each feather in time’s cap is by God’s grace; Each step you forward tread is God destined; Each achievement is just not all your own. One’s perseverance has a role to play; The spark igniting dreams is from others; But all must work out well if success smiles; Self-confidence and toil do help a lot. The proud have never soared to dizzy heights; Stark poverty can goad someone to toil; Mere luck and pluck are not enough to win; God blesses hearts that make the clay special. But risks you take must not undo your life; Accomplishments must help humanity; By loving neighbors, you love God as well; Many are heros, heroines unsung! The lazy person hates to do a thing; The selfish soul has drawn a circle small; The man of pride has lost his inner zeal; The God-believer stuns and makes history. But hate-filled hearts cannot achieve a thing; The hair on head is numbered by the Lord; You cannot add a day to your life-span; If faith is strong, God blesses each prayer. Yet, God can pick a shepherd to be king; And fishermen had become apostles; Even a sinner worst can turn a saint; All things are possible to Almighty. Each human birth is but a miracle; Each human cell – a factory all alive; Each molecule is directed by God; Each life – a perfection of love, divine. The Universe is monitored by God; He made all things from time immemorial; The world canvas is painted by the Lord; The paint- indelible and eternal. Copyright by Dr John Celes 20-10-2015
