       To My God

   Petrarchan Sonnet

 

Things are worse than Sodom and Gomorrah,

God, have mercy on this generation,

Do not take away the unrighteous one,

But give us another chance like Jonah,

Far from the madding crowd of this era,

We will mend our ways to become Your own,

Our lives in this world are yet to be done,

To live with the Alpha and Omega.

 

I hold out to You in a time like this,

To dwell deep into Your life-giving Word,

To meditate and be righteous always,

To be right in thought and not to be erred,

As and when on this earth I close my eyes,

I will open my eyes to see You, Lord.
