Sonnet: The Awesome Creator, Jehovah Poem by Dr John Celes

What beauty lies concealed in creation!
A life-time’s not enough to know its truth;
The Lord of universe has compassion;
Man’s labor, toil can earn its fitful fruit.

The ways of flora surprise every man;
The ways of beasts can teach umpteen lessons;
’Tis God who lengthens each being’s life-span;
Incomparable is creator’s passion!

Yet, human beings think they are too great;
God’s dumb creatures are better in more ways;
Can man not give up pride, sinfulness, hate?
Even the ant is in its world, an ace!

But man is God’s most precious loved being;
Can man not be righteous and more loving?
