Sonnet 20170405 April5th

Sonnet 20170405 When ashamed of failings yet honored in men’s eyes We prod ourselves to do the right thing and repent Vices like pride and prejudice cannot surprise Us now that we have touched the Savior’s wounds, then Lent Cycles around to reinforce lessons we first Loved as children, that recall the Samaritan. Midway in our walk, we learn the last might be first! Our fate is secured, no threat of conflagration? Doubts do persecute the soul: It’s all too easy! Second birth, no death or demons, life abundant, Just by faith and belief? When tempted and queasy - Clutching to His righteousness, the New Covenant Living Waters cascade these waves (in mind and sea) When Heaven looks to judge you, It will call for Me (c) A.Deo, 20170405

And a beautiful Good Morning to you Anil. Your words make this reader pause and think. That's a plus. I very much love the line of "Vices like pride and prejudice cannot surprise" that line is so well expressed not that the rest of the entry isn't. Always are you the humanitarian. This entry is well executed throughout. Have a wonderful day Anil.

Thanks ever so much; like u say often, One must never take Reviews for granted. I appreciate you and everyone who leaves comments. It is risky business; poems are one's creation, children, almost part of us. Your generous review makes me feel unworthy; but I have learned to accept (and thank Jesus my LORD for everything He sends through His saints, or readers in general). Shalom. AD
