Analysis of The Task Thy Wisdom Hath Assigned!!.



Thou has assigned,
The tasks to be done,
Thou hast shown the way,
Thou has shown the truth,
And the life,
It is left for us,
Fragile humans,
To undertake the tasks,
Though confronted ,
With difficulties and hurdles;
We fail  miserably,
But your grace,
Pull us through,
And lead to victory.
