DO GOOD AND BE BLESSED: a sonnet

DO GOOD AND BE BLESSED: a sonnet


May god soften hearts that are made of stone
And make tender thoughts sprout where grimness rules.
May god bless them who to sinning are prone
And shape them into his own godly tools.

May god change the unimpressionable
Hearts into those that feel the others’ pain.
Let his kindness verily enable
Humans to love others and shed disdain.

Sinner a man may be born but why he
Should go one day from this world yet in sin?
By doing good he can from sins be free.
All that he needs is to be clean within.

Do good and you shall truly earn his grace.
Else, you shall consequences of sins face.
