“A Sonnet of Trust Amid the Lions’ Roar: Christ, the Truth, Guards Every Soul Forevermore” is a Shakespearean sonnet retelling Daniel 6. In Babylon, Daniel’s steadfast prayers defy a king’s decree, provoking foes to cast him into a lions’ den. Sustained by Christ’s light, he’s protected by God’s angel, emerging unharmed to Darius’ awe. For every soul, from Babylon to now, Christ, the Truth, reigns, His might guarding all with eternal victory, echoing Psalm 121:2’s unwavering trust in divine help

In Babylon, where Daniel’s prayers arose,
Defying laws that banned his faithful call,
His foes with envy schemed to work their woes,
And cast him where the lions’ hunger thrall.

The king, though grieved, could not the edict bend,
So stone was rolled to seal the den’s dark gate.
Yet Daniel knelt, his trust would never end,
For Christ’s own light did guard his fearful state.

No roar prevailed, no claw his flesh did tear,
God’s angel bound the jaws of death’s design.
At dawn, Darius found him whole, a prayer
Proclaimed the Truth that holds through every sign.

From Babylon to now, for every soul,
Christ, Truth, shall reign, His might shall guard our soul.
