Sonnet: God Is Our Hope And Succor Poem by Dr John Celes

No one’s indispensable in this world;
Someone will surely take our place someday!
Retirement comes for good when we are old;
Let sober thoughts not come in our faith’s way.

When faith is challenged unexpectedly,
Our love for God must take us steadfastly;
When problems come mountain-like suddenly,
Let us meet them God most courageously!

All things good/bad must terminate some day;
Today’s troubles are enough for today;
Tho’ morrow brings more in its wake our way,
To God to guide us, we have got to pray!

The things we worry much won’t for long stay;
God solves our problems, keeps evils at bay!
