SONNET: Start Early For Soul-care

You brush your teeth each day to stay healthy;
The frequency and brushing art matter;
You spend wisely and save to stay wealthy;
Health is more important than the latter.

You labour hard all life to earn something;
And think you can enjoy post-retirement;
You know that money is not everything;
We live under the same one firmament.

The care of soul is also one like art;
You can’t make it all pure over one night;
From birth itself, begins the goodness-chart;
God’s Grace is the one rectifying light.

Our earthly life is to get Heaven’s bliss!
But should we stay unprepared and then miss?
