Sonnet: We Need God’s Blessings Poem by Dr John Celes

What human agencies achieve is small;
Our Life's experience proves this point clearly;
And tho' this is a fact, well-known to all,
Yet, Men believe in human strength merely.

Most things that happen, we can't reason why;
And when they occur, no one can predict;
A few wise-men and soothsayers do try;
Their own statements, they often contradict.

The things destined by God, none can avoid;
His queries to each man, none can evade;
Unbless’d, man's labor remains null and void;
His glory and achievements also fade.
The man who wins God's Mercy- will not sin;
The man who pins his hopes on God- will win!
