Sonnet: God's Ways Are The Best Poem by Dr John Celes

The things I think are best for me to ask
From God don't seem to work too well for me;
Those things God gives to help my every task
Appear the best always ultimately.

My wisdom and experience don't succeed;
My knowledge fails me often in this world;
My ambitions go wrong because of greed;
In frustration, so often I seem hurled!

God's decisions come late and not my way;
Yet, they surprisingly remain the best;
No human mind can think like God, I say;
With help of God, we can pass any test.

Man's foolishness begins when wisdom parts;
Man's wisdom ends before God's prowess starts!
