GODLY MANIFESTATION: a sonnet

GODLY MANIFESTATION: a sonnet

What can be done when hope itself is dead;
When all around is darkness, not a ray;
When soul of man by depression is led;
When old friends also shamelessly betray;

When kith and kin and one’s own family
Give up on one who is unfortunate;
When they even forsake him readily
If so their own selfishness does dictate?

It’s then divine benevolent support
Suddenly shows up when not expected.
There comes a ship from nowhere in the port,
To rescue the doomed and the dejected.

Have faith in Him and put all doubt to rest.
God does in His wondrous ways manifest!
