These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "Never a Mistake"

Although it seems at times, that Wrong's made right,
and hopes become a colorless refrain,
when Truth can't win in Hell's atrocious blight,
we focus on Horizon's line, again.

The Lord has ways, that we can't fully know.
He causes light to shine in darkest space.
He brings a pain sometimes to make us grow,
but always in the end we know His Grace.

The momentary joy of fiendish hordes
becomes defeat throughout the lasting Age.
The Victory will always be the Lord's,
and those of His know freedom from the cage.

Never mistake will sons and daughters live.
The sweetest peace He now and ever gives.
