Sonnet-God's Mercy To Me

How blessed am I when I behold others!
God's been so kind to me in umptine ways;

The campus-life has turned too, cordially;
For one more year, we’ll be like newly-weds!

Progress and life of nations every morn!

Lessons From A Woodpecker

The woodpecker will not give up,
Until the hole it planned is made!
It walks upon the trunk upside,
Its clawed feet holding bark firmly!

Keep God as first: All things will fall in line!
Keep health second and earthly life is fine;
Keep labor third; hard-work gives success prime;
Keep truth as fourth: wealth will perish with time!
