When worldly people cause upsets in life, <br />And times keep changing for the worse for you- <br />The principled-good suffer in strife: <br />You have to still your duty rightly do! <br /> <br />Our earthly troubles can’t worry us long; <br />Our grief and joys are also transient; <br />Our conscience tells us what is right and wrong; <br />Our lives are guided by the Omniscient. <br /> <br />Our tormentors will suffer for their wrongs; <br />Our sufferings end like the seasons too; <br />Our ears will hear consoling, pleasant songs; <br />Mysteriously, many things God can do! <br /> <br />No failures need upset our minds for long; <br />God fills the air soon with His happy song. <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-5-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-when-things-go-amiss/
