God chose a shepherd boy to be the king <br />Of Israel, when Goliath, the giant <br />Had threatened everyone, and vowed to bring <br />Israelites on their knees by his win-chant! <br /> <br />David, the lad had pebbles and a sling; <br />Goliath had a mighty sword and shield; <br />But David came in name of God to sing, <br />And the Philistine had but to yield! <br /> <br />For, God supports the righteous ones to win; <br />The evil-minded have to bite the dust; <br />God abhors devils and the mortal sin; <br />The righteous always hope in Lord and trust. <br /> <br />God permits Goliath to talk in vain; <br />But David has His love and strength to gain! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-03-2013<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-david-and-goliath/
