Divine we feel when parched mouths/ lips well drink, <br />Tender-coconut water in midsummer! <br />On finding sea-shells on the shore, child thinks, <br />‘God made this world so beautiful, brother! ’ <br /> <br />What joy afills the children’s minds when rain, <br />Drizzles suddenly on their way back home; <br />There is great joy when man is free from pain <br />Or climbs a giant geo-desic dome! <br /> <br />A beggar’s heart is filled with joy that’s true, <br />When given food after starving for days; <br />The joy’s intense seeing the rainbow’s hue! <br />The starry night with moon well proves God’s ways. <br /> <br />Some things though small afford a greater joy; <br />In Nature’s lap, all men ought to enjoy. <br /> <br /> 9-1-2001<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-little-things-matter-much/
