In life, I compromise so many things; <br />I cannot fight forever in this world; <br />At times, I take whatever Life just brings; <br />My sufferings remain in heart untold! <br /> <br />But sin is one thing which I must avoid; <br />The soul is meant to reach God’s own Abode; <br />A sinful man can’t satisfy the Lord; <br />We must therefore live by His every code. <br /> <br />The God of purity is truth and light; <br />He abhors sins and abysmal darkness; <br />A thousand suns can’t match His face so bright! <br />He wants all men freed from devils’ harness. <br /> <br />The grace of God is robe and soul’s haven; <br />What can’t I sacrifice to reach Heaven? <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 4-4-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-what-can-t-i-sacrifice-to-reach-heaven/
