GOD’S WAYS:tsunami-sonnet, winner

GOD’S WAYS—a sonnet on tsunami

We need not lose faith just because He kills
Through ways that are too cruel to mankind.
We need not hate the gory wicked thrills
He gets from acts of the tsunami kind.

Why can’t He be more kind to His own sons
Who worship Him and look at Him with awe?
Why can’t He kiss and save the little ones?
Why to death He should His own children draw?

Human logic just cannot fathom out
His ways often set deep in mystery.
Men are often left wondering about
Past events chronicled in history.

Have faith in Him and His perplexing ways.
He does care for His own children always.
