Cord of Love
I’m gonna live so
God can use me
Everyday glow
So you see
.
The Holy Spirit
In my soul knows
How to clear it
So He shows.
.
I can feel it
In my heart, Lord,
How you seal it
With Your cord.
.
It’s the cord of Love
From my God above.

And here is an English Sonnet from poet Tynea Lewis:
.
All We Will Be
He sits, paying no attention to me.
I wonder what is going through his head.
It hurts knowing friends is all we will be.
His unexpected glace turns my face red.
.
His mud brown eyes are so piercing and deep.
Then a smile fills his flawless, tanned face.
If only into his heart I could creep.
The slow motion moment makes my heart race.
.
Our time together is a dream come true
But I fear he can see into my heart.
When I am with him, I don’t feel so blue,
But something new won’t be able to start.
.
Since nothing will be, onward I must go.
These feelings I have to hide and not show.
.
Now it’s time for you to try your hand at an English Sonnet.
