Poem
This poem is a condensed version of my crown of sonnets This style is called a compound English sonnet. it is written in couplets. The rhyme is aabbaabbccddccddeeffeeffgggg. It can be read 3 ways.You can read straight through or just read every other line. if you read every other lineodd or evens you're reading a normal English sonnet. Dear God I pray you keep our men from harm When in your grace they're safe without alarm Let not your eyes from you now go astray help each to stay the course when skies are gray It's in your strength they'll learn to now rearm Now with your help each foe the will disarm They'll change what others do along the way With choices that they make this very day. You know the things they want and what they need For with Your help I know they will succeed They never need to run from you or hide In all they do you'll always be their guide Each step they take in faith they'll not concede When to your will we find each one will heed Now each of them have put your will inside Because they let your faith in you abide I know they shall be blest in ever task As now they keep your word in all you ask Help each of them to stay within your pace Then understand this life's a holy race Now all our thoughts appear to you unmasked When in your light their souls are made to bask But you have given them abundant grace In all they do in each and every place It's in Your strength they'll surely pass life's test When they abide in your eternal rest Help each of them to do their very best It's then that they'll achieve a valiant quest
