Sonnet: Things Happen for Every One’s Best

Whatever happens, happens for our good;
There always is God’s writing on the wall;
Mishaps should never disturb our sane mood;
There is renewed strength after every fall.

Some things don’t happen in the ways we want;
Some things don’t happen in the time we set;
Sun’s rays can fall both straight and also slant;
All Righteous men should never fume or fret.

If we can take all things as godsend, then
Our troubles cannot irk us any more;
Let it rain or let it sun! Say, Amen,
And pray to God to open us new door.

Our woes cannot be permanent for life;
And newer joys will be born out of strife.
