I sought a dollar, got a penny just; <br />I sought a penny, found dollar instead; <br />I sought a lover, got a load of lust; <br />I sought but lust yet, got a soul to wed. <br /> <br />The things we seek, don't happen in our time; <br />The things we search are found neither our way; <br />The things we see, we cannot always mime; <br />The things we want, we get some other day. <br /> <br />Man's labour long and plans evade fruition; <br />God's blessings come just like a waterfall; <br />The ways of God defies any diction; <br />He cares for all creatures mighty and small. <br /> <br /> Our patience gives us success or defeat, <br /> A man who's blest can walk life-time bare-feet.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-god-decides-our-earthly-life/
