Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Inspired by my belief that each new day is made by God.. and that all things comes from God and hence it is a must that we say atleast thank Him and glorify Him.. 

Everyday Is God's Day

EVERYDAY IS GOD'S DAY

Threats of war-- shakes the peace floating in the breeze,
Bombs and guns, they rattle to break bony reasons of the mind,
Thorns and knocks that seed from biting disease,
Shouts and wails rising 'neath conscience and ego grind,
all these like wagon wheels-- the whole world theater confines
When will humans know there's always a God standing by?
Dawn and dusk---brace night and day, His own design
so are animals that swim, hop and eagles soaring high!
All He provided and us, He asked to keenly give an eye
but pass flipping years did we try to allot some time?
Utter some thanksgiving shedding clouds of shy?
Daily we walk a lifeline to reach one peak prime,
offering our lives humbly as like saint Paul
though pang of death is the stage of our befall...

Everyday is a day the Lord has made,
blessings He bestow a hug of sunlight,
tests, He spearheads--the best teacher blade. . .
Even if seven devils come in flight to invite
stand like Jesus in the wilderness, hold tight! Fight!
None like vapor but forward like Lancelot we go,
serving God, throughout our life, the zenith height.
Let praises grow and God's glory our constant show!
Hatred we forego, letting love melt a heart of snow
so when the day comes our Holy Father judge
let our lives greet Him with bright smile of hello
"Well, done faithful servant", He will say as He touch
beckoning us inside a prepared Castle room
Sharing with Him a life everlasting of bloom!

Paul Callus January 25, 2015 at 11:48 AM You are correct in your reasoning, Olive_eloi! God is beside us all the time, but very often people forget, or pretend he is not there; that is why evil abounds. It is not possible to serve two opposing masters. hugs // paul Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser January 28, 2015 at 7:13 AM thanks PAul for the visit.. :) I appreciate.. i mean PAul this time Paul.. :D! :P
