Relate John Miltons life to the poem, but it is also supposed to come from my own experiences in life. (I want to add that i am a female so its easier for the writer to relate things). ---------------------------------------------- When I Consider How My Light Is Spent by John Milton* When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest He returning chide; \\\\\\\"Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?\\\\\\\" I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, \\\\\\\"God doth not need Either man\\\\\\\`s work or His own gifts. Who best Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state Is kingly: thousands at His bidding speed, And post o\\\\\\\`er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait.\\\\\\\"
