God does not dwell atop just mountains, hills,
Nor in far-off foreign places alone;
God doesn’t prefer statues of stones but wills
His devotees all, sinless heart to own!
God doesn’t want man just praying throughout life,
But doing duty well with fortitude;
God loves the man who prays to him ’midst strife
And lives life with a happy attitude.
God dwells not in worshipping places just,
But hearts of men with minds and bodies pure;
God loves good deeds, not money that turns dust,
And men who, tribulations, can endure.
God’s Nature’s furies are unstoppable;
To do great feats, God can man enable!
God doesn’t want man just praying throughout life, But doing duty well with fortitude; God loves the man who prays to him ’midst strife And lives life with a happy attitude. i agree with your write

I read your sonnet 'God and man'. I like the poem especially, God dwells not in worshiping places just, But hearts of men with minds and bodies pure; Nice. V.K.Kanniappan
