When God can change destinies of nations: <br />Appoints, rejects and re-appoints leaders: <br />Safe-guards, allows the fall of prime bastions: <br />Converts hearts, minds and souls of His readers! <br /> <br />When God can usher changes unforeseen, <br />And rules the fates of earth’s every creature, <br />And changes all landscapes and every scene, <br />Controlling furies of Mother Nature, <br /> <br />When God forever cares about all things, <br />And watches lovingly whatev’r He made, <br />With fairness meted to paupers and kings, <br />And judgments that can never, ever fade, <br /> <br />My future lies secure in His safe Hands, <br />Despite the fleeting, transient Time’s sands! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 12-29-2007<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-a-global-message-on-new-year-s-eve/
