“Father God, help all of us to be lulled in Your Love. When Your Son and our Savior spoke, ‘Peace be with you,” I know in my heart that He meant His Peace for BOTH humans AND nonhuman animals. Help all of us, Father God, to speak these words to BOTH humans AND nonhuman animals today. Please grant us Your Mercy and Your Grace today so that Your Love will lull all of us to show Your Mercy and Your Grace to BOTH humans AND nonhuman animals, for the Peace of Jesus is to be given to BOTH. I pray all of this in the Wonderful and Precious Name of Jesus Christ, and this prayer is answered by my faith and belief. Please, help me, Father God, where my faith and my belief are lacking. Amen.”
(God’s Sonnet by Timothy J. Verret; “it’s how I cope to hope in being lulled in Your Love, God, through Jesus Christ, Your Son and my Savior, this daily leavened [Jesus Rises!} bread.”)
You’re a baby needing a lull to sleep.
You’re awake in your worries, deep in thought.
God’s Love will lull you deep, and you will reap
love you sow wide awake, not bedtime fraught.
I’m a child of God, not adult at all.
I’m rocked and lulled asleep in Father’s Arms.
When sleep is over, God says, “My child, crawl
but don’t brawl, love but don’t sound hate alarms.”
“God’s Love will lull with words: Peace be with you,”
I am a 54-year-old Christian. I am highly artistic and creative and enjoy acting, writing plays and poetry and short stories for children, as well as writing to promote nonhuman animal welfare.

Thank you, PC! Writing about God’s Love always make the sonnets one of the best! I was thinking about you tonight because I watched the film, THE LETTERS, about Mother Teresa and her work with the poor in Calcutta. An extraordinary film about an extraordinary human being, one who had nothing but had EVERYTHING! In terms of her selfless work, she said, “I’m just a pencil in God’s Hand.” I think the writing I do is very much like that (although, before I type the sonnets, I always write them first in a notebook with an erasable pen!!!!)
I too write down everything on my register/ notebook’s pages before typing them out. Oh, yes, THE LETTERS, it also has the exceptional TILOTTIMA SHOME in the cast, who is one of my favorites. Do research on her work in the Indian independent film scene with films like SIR, QISSA, HINDI MEDIUM, A DEATH IN THE GUNJ, NAYANTARA’S NECKLACE, MONSOON WEDDING CHILDREN OF WAR, GANGOR, UNION LEADER and KADWI HAWA(BITTER WIND); QISSA especially is a revelation.
But can you feel God’s Love, Dag? Can you accept God’s Love? Speaking to Mark about never feeling good enough, Mark said: “There is nothing you can do or say or feel or think, Timothy, that will make you more loveable; you’ve ALWAYS been loveable!” Mark pretty much changed my outlook today….and maybe, for me, changed EVERYTHING!!!! 🙂
I think this is one of your best sonnets.
