Jeremy Smith Poet Sonnet

In God's Sanctuary

God has blessed me with sanctuary
for when the demons inside come to play
leading me from the voluptuary
I walk with the Lord so there's no dismay

The Lord's sanctum, like a suit of armor
shielding all the attacks by the devil 
unaware, God's filling me with ardor
wending me from, traveling in peril

This protection only our Lord can give
a gift reassuring I'll make it home
so without the fear my life I will live
now my destination's known I'll not roam

In God's warm embrace is where I belong
Keeping my spirit elated and strong
