Denis Martindale Poems

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!
...

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

When I awoke from midnight sleep,
I heard a rustling creature creep
And on my bed, its vigil keep,
Till my eyes opened wide...
...

The miracle of love's reward,
Indwells us every day
And blessed are those that trust the LORD,
Whatever, come what may...
...

The lion learnt a thing or two
For getting his own way,
A timely roar, if overdue,
Reminding to obey...
...

When God is silent, doubt begins,
Yet Jesus prayed again,
Was this the time to die for sins
And if not now, then when?
...

Sat down upon a comfy chair,
The writing tools at hand,
The coming journey oh so fair,
That few could understand...
...

The wolf was well aware of things
That lesser wolves ignored,
For alpha males who lived like kings
Were hardly ever bored...
...

An artist came along one day
And saw you as you were,
And you saw him, yet chose to stay,
Like no harm could occur...
...

Such tiny birds, such precious things,
Contented side-by-side,
One there with perfect spreadout wings,
As I looked on with pride...
...
