Sonnet: Our Faith Saves Us Poem by Dr John Celes

Whenever hope seems lost in earthly life,
Despair begins to seize the human heart,
And joys appear replaced by newer strife,
We want divine intercession to start!

Our faith should all the more be strengthened fast;
Desert all doubts of miracles on earth;
We must take heart from our glorious past;
Increase our pleas to God with prayers’ girth!

Victory cannot elude the brave and bold;
Success will smile our way ultimately;
God opens avenues surprising world;
Our life again is transformed so stately.

Victory comes to those who trust in the Lord;
Nothing surpasses the kindness of God!
