To Whom Much Is Given

When, in the fever of God's divine breath, I, like some madman, disgorge and out-pour from myself art—even unto my death: for to whom much is given so much more is required by the Almighty. So I, once humbled by His supernat'ral hand, am thankful to live now—never to die; and with my quill I honor His command and will for me with the fervent desire to show every man, woman, child and beast of the earth how God's great love can inspire in each of us an everlasting feast of hope and joy; and “the peace that passeth all understanding” through Christ of Naz'reth!

Thank you so much, Caren, for reading; commenting; and for complimenting my sonnet! Your free love-offering of warm words of praise both encourage and inspire me (as an aspiring poet). Thank you so much, again! Love and God bless you, Ngoc.
