One Life to Live (Petrarchan Sonnet)

NOTE: The rhyme scheme I used is "abba abba cdcdee"

One Life to Live

The brilliant colors running through my life
Illuminate the obstacles, and yet,
Should I give thanks for color, or regret
That God chose gifts of struggle and of strife?
Dearest God, in my days, You made a knife,
In my stormy journey, I ought to get
Peace, serenity, but these can't be set,
So challenging, lie planning a new life.
Rock and stones do notgrind me into dust
It polishes me and turns me into a gem
The year's I've lived, I did my best... a must
To show gratitude to God, unlike them.
That one day, I'll sparkle, it is God's plan
I know it already, for I am a man.
