Denis Martindale Poems

When light was fashioned here and there
Before the Cosmic dust,
God saw it was beyond compare
And worthy of His trust,
...

Joseph was born, Mary was born, each lived their lives on Earth...
A world some thought of as forlorn, yet God preserved its worth...
These children grew to adult age, betrothed and to be wed
And yet before the marriage stage, God intervened instead...
...

Sumatran Tiger! Look at you!
So many frowns you've got!
As if you don't know what to do,
So you don't do a lot!
...

Elvis was lucky... He deserved to be lucky...
And somehow I think we were lucky, too...
So many songs, so many shows, films, articles...
So many good things to remember him for...
...

The leopards listen to each noise
Of their surrounding sounds...
On steadfast feet they gently poise,
Resisting fearful bounds.
...

The tiger touched the water's edge...
What wonderment he felt...
As if cascading from a ledge,
His tensions seemed to melt...
...

The mother cheetah settled there,
With two cubs still in tow.
This was the time to shed her care,
Her tension and her woe.
...

Behold the lion, the noble cat,
Defiant all day long.
The perfect, great aristocrat,
Majestic and so strong.
...

The lion looked with such a look,
That's called your deepest fears...
And with your courage that he took,
Bravado disappears!
...

They say somebody loves you,
No matter who you are
And loves you with a love so true
They wish upon a star.
...
