A Sonnet
Written January 11, 2017 for a young man I did not know, in the faith that God could create him.
To whom shall I give my love? My heart doth ask.
No common man shall fill my soul’s desire
For him who’s single aim must be Christ’s noble task
Of loving Mercy and seeking Justice’s fire.
Where is the man who loves God’s lasting Truth,
Whose hope lies in the promise of the Son;
Who lives to serve, who’s words e’er strive to soothe
The troubled spirit, and the Race will faithfully run?
To whom shall I give my heart? I often muse.
His own must bear the seal of Christ’s name;
His judgement will not good and evil confuse,
His wisdom be the essence of his fame.
Because he has been faithful in the past,
To this man will I give my heart at last!

Oh, Brooklyn…. This is beautiful…. And a wonderful reminder that prayers really and truly are heard and answered, for those of us currently in the waiting place. This whole poem is a prayer I can echo with all my heart, in fact…. Thankyou so much for sharing it🤗
For someone one does not know, in the faith that God can create him…. I may adopt this as my motto, can’t think of a better 🙂 And it’s well worth the wait, isn’t it? I’m so happy for you…. May God bless you both richly.
