Sonnet: Let God Have His Ways For You! Poem by Dr John Celes

For whatever, I am here, I don't know;
Why I am not elsewhere, I don't know why;
The worldly ways do hurt me much but oh,
I will not fear as long as God's near-by.

Even the pregnant Mary left her home,
And had to stay in Egypt for awhile;
In inns, she went to, she was not welcome,
On donkey's back, went she to land of Nile.

God's ways are strangely not easy and clear;
Man's wisdom cannot discern ways of God;
But all is well when God is always near;
When trials come, life appears pretty odd!

God has His plans to grant us bliss immense;
We should not grumble, mumble, murmur, hence!

Happy birthday, dear Anni Mrs. Joesphine Joebert M.A.,
