Royston Allen Poems

Freedom to give
Freedom to live
Freedom to question why
...

Jesus, You're the focus
of my soul, of my love
Jesus
...

Because of Jesus I go free
Because He suffered there for me
Because He stayed and did not run
Because He said 'Your will be done'
...

My dear Mum, I miss you so very much.
Just hearing your voice and feeling your touch.
But you will always be a part of me
living on in every memory.
...

For many years I have sought to be healed.
Paid doctors' fees and to the priests appealed
But alas all my efforts were in vain
And I don't think I will get well again
...

For many years this woman sought healing.
Then she came to Jesus in secret feeling
It’s the hem of His garment that I need touch
I know He can heal me so it won’t take much.
...

The door was closed firm, and the way was blocked.
It would not open, even though I'd knocked.
So I stood outside, unnoticed by you.
My arms opened wide. I love you, I do.
...

Their eyes were downcast and the pace was slow.
Why these things had happened they did not know.
On their shoulders they bore grief's heavy load
as they walked that long Emmaus Road.
...

I had never, ever seen the light of day
and have had to use a stick to find my way.
From womb to tomb is my life going to be
walking in darkness because I cannot see?
...
