Sonnet: Life’s Higher Rungs Poem by Dr John Celes

Life’s higher rungs are fraught with dangers more;
The mountains steep are tough to climb till peak;
The rain from higher clouds in torrents, pour;
We cannot see the Almighty, we seek.

If aim is high, the steps to reach aren't few;
The risks we take are more if dreams are tall;
In life, let problems never deter you;
We can well climb a formidable wall.

But plan, we must the steps we undertake;
We soar to dizzy heights powered by will;
Set-backs shouldn't or apply any brake;
At times, we foresee problems by mock-drill.

Nevertheless, the grace of God is prime;
Man’s feats are blessed by prayer in God’s time.
