Sonnet: On Loving Your Foe Poem by Dr John Celes

To love your foe is not an easy task;
A lot of patience is the factor main;
He sees your face of truth as one of mask,
And gestures kind, as ones with which you feign!

Your words of love from heart appear not so;
He always is wary of all you do;
He doubts your moves and invitations true;
He often dreams of his own waterloo!

Although you forgive him his trespasses,
He continues to be a fox so vile!
To bring your downfall, he sets up masses,
And pours out vulgar words akin to bile!

To love your foe is tougher than most things;
A lot of ugly situations, it brings!

‘Jesus wants us to love our enemies! '
