Alone, I live a life of solitude, <br />Although surrounded by many persons; <br />This world is one full of ingratitude, <br />Where people change their hearts for no reasons! <br /> <br />No soul I know on whom I can depend; <br />The few good people change in tune with times; <br />I struggle myself trying to defend; <br />The world has changed ahead of changing climes! <br /> <br />But I can see new Shepherds in limelight; <br />The Lord performs miracles through these souls; <br />Despite the looming darkness amidst light, <br />The Maker gives these men of God, new roles! <br /> <br />The Holy Spirit dwells and functions well, <br />In turning many souls, away from hell. <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 12-27-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-new-shepherds/
