Sonnet: God May Not Wait Too Long

Without a doubt, God is a patient Soul;
His love and patience has no bounds at all;
He will be so until we reach His goal;
If not, back in our court will be the ball.

God's infinite love for man ain't weakness;
God is a kind but strict a Master too;
So, He expects man's love and gratefulness;
By shunning sin, our duty, we must do.

But, Man shouldn't dare to play with God's patience;
No one predicts His wrath and punishment;
We must feel remorse and do penitence,
That’s timely or face Heaven's banishment.
Each beat of heart, life’s breath to God, man owes;
And when our thread of life is cut- who knows?
