The best thing about a pandemic?
It does not have everlastingness.
The next best thing?
It does not visit the earth often.
The next best thing?
It is teaching us how to be flexible.
The next best thing?
We appreciate our families more and our teachers.
The next best thing?
Many of us are learning new computer applications.
The next best thing?
When we return to normal we will not take things for granted.

The Symphony
The mountains cried, “Praise to the Lord”!
And the birds and beasts sang His praises.
The firmament rose up to praise His name,
The Infinite;The creator.
The soul of man reached up to his maker.
As all the trees and grasses stood watchful,
Mountains adored him; the mighty and the glorious.
The rain fell as the music to his mighty hymn.
The wind made up the rest of the orchestra;
A symphony to His greatness;All seeing and merciful.
The Planets and the stars testified of His greatness;
And infinity the everlastingness of His love.
The mountains cry; “Praise the Lord”!
The Eternal, the lovely one.

Oh God, omnipotent thou art
Accept this poet's humble prayer
Because thou art almighty
And ever present in my life.
You are there whenI need you
And like a hound you follow me
Wherever I goest.
When I stray, you call me back.
There is no escaping from your love.
Your love is eternal and endless.
More than what infinity means.
More than everlastingness.
You are the source of inspiration
An eternal muse that beautifies
My world, a world of limitation
I cannot grasp.
But you are there always for me
And oftentimes I cannot see
But faithfully I come to you
For hope and inspiration too.

(This is called Double Rhyming Sonnet. The front of
the lines also rhyme abab, etc.)
Oh, who can say when time began or ends?
The universe engulfs all creatures here.
But you can see how sun’s glow ever blends
to moonlight in time’s never ending sphere.
And when you think our world has learned it all,
new cosmic truths emerge to show man’s fate,
so then you realize we are so small. . . . .
but jaws of everlastingness await!
They gape, and though you see no end in sight;
you think that all is finished when we die?
Escape from dreary earth means taking flight.
A wink is time spent here! You won’t deny,
when face to face with God, that life’s not done!
In space of endless grace, it’s just begun.
