What we complain of as adversities---
having opined with negativity's
dim view---are not tortures that God has sent
in the infliction of harsh punishment:
such pettiness is not in His Intent.
Nor is it vengeance on sin's perfidy;
for God well knows our human frailty.
But, rather, God uses each incident
to bring our souls nearer maturity;
closer to greater spirituality
along paths that lead us to Heavenly
joy that shall be our faithful desiny,
that we approach (in this earthland) by the Heavenly
Kingdom of our Lord and His Eternity.
