Denis Martindale Poems

Today is such a special day,
Each learns that now and then
And each one has a part to play,
Make sure of how and when...
...

To say Maria's beautiful,
How could that prove enough?
To say Maria's wonderful
Would merely hint at love!
...

There are times I write some verses
And wish I'd taken notes.
There are times God grants His mercies,
And these prove antidotes.
...

How heavy was the Jesus Cross, those men forced Christ to bear?
That fateful Cross despised because of pains Christ had to share,
That sapped His strength upon His path to Calvary and death,
To end up as His epitaph, Jesus of Nazareth?
...

Soul mates they seemed, soul mates they stayed,
Lion and lioness,
Thus side-by-side and unafraid,
Portraying happiness...
...

Across the world, this golden rule
Has paved the way for peace,
It's warmed up hearts that once were cool,
For wonders never cease...
...

Across the TV screen they scrolled,
The questions to the show...
While just one answer could be told,
Still questions were in flow...
...

The lonely leopard forced to find
His next meal now and then,
Walked with intent, with single mind,
With one thought yet again...
...

Be still and calm the hurried soul,
Take charge of it and seize control,
Such that the fleeting thoughts are calmed,
That you're defended and forearmed...
...

It's true that people are like pearls
Each shining in the sun,
To God, they're just like boys and girls
All busy having fun...
...
