Sonnet: To My Dearest Elder Brother On His Happy Birthday Poem by Dr John Celes

Another birthday, God has given you,
And many more returns await this day;
Be glad and cheerful, God has plans great too;
He guided you across life's storms, His way.

You aren't old in mind and spirit, so
You should not sulk or doubt the ways of God;
He wrote your name upon His palm and oh,
Just leave your worries at the feet of Lord.

The little things unfinished will come through!
Your patience long will pay rich dividends;
The liar cannot harm or threaten you;
God calls the shots; His righteous, He defends.

Just keep your cool and pray with fervor more;
God sees your heart and heals its every sore!
