Sonnet: God Alone Heals Poem by Dr John Celes

O God, Thou Physician par excellence!
Thou art the Healer of every ailment;
Disease can’t strike without Thine allowance;
Thou knowest man’s body, mind’s temperament.

No vermin can touch any man, woman,
Without Thine knowledge and Thine permission;
No human being can increase life-span,
Without Thine grace, divine intervention.

More evil spirits trouble mankind much;
From womb to tomb, the strife is harming all;
We plead, O God, extend a healing touch;
The Science we know of can’t diseases stall!

O Omnipotent God, show us more cures!
All life, man only suffering endures!
