Why choose this reprobate?&#xA;Why bother with a man so deeply flawed?&#xA;I feel so weak, so unable of late&#xA;My fellow man to turn toward thoughts of God.&#xA;&#xA;But, as you&#39;ve chosen me, I&#39;ll sing your praise&#xA;Throughout the universe for endless days.&#xA;&#xA;~FIN~&#xA;&#xA;Originally published here:&#xA;https://peakd.com/poetry/@creatr/good-god-why-me-a-sonnet-by-duncan-cary-palmer</html></oembed>
