Sonnet: God And Man Poem by Dr John Celes

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!
