The Unappreciated Blessings

STATEMENT: I thank God for blessing me with a gift of twins(two boys )during COVID-19 pandemic and many others after 12years of marriage .

Ask you shall be given says the holy book 
Better to do good than evil it says in Luke 
Can you serve two masters at the same time ?
Delay is not denial as sorrow and pain sublime 
Even though its being over a decade we’ve been praying 
For His blessing to manifest according to His saying 
God works in miraculous ways to bless those that believe
Hannah prayed all night like a drunkard to conceive 
Infidelity is not an excuse for barrenness or disgrace
Jesus came to set the captives free with full grace 
Knowing that HE had to die on the cross of Calvary
Loved to work for the poor without wage or salary 
Many detest this work for it exposes their greed
New doctrines usher in salvation and forgiveness indeed
Orthodox ways jettisoned to accommodate this new passion
Proofs of this extreme love super cede the old fashion 
Questions were asked to know the truth of this new doctrine
Religious fanatics should be wiped off  and flushed into the latrine
Soon truth will prevail and lies will be in the past
Trumpets will sound and wickedness will not last
Umbrella of blessing spreads over us ,makes us ask for more
Virus pandemic or lock down cannot stop this cold war
Waiting for years had paid off with a double
X-ray of which shows HE is dependable and reliable 
Yet as COVID-19 ranges on and tears our hearts apart 
Zephyr whistles joy in our ears and gladdens  the heart .
