Denis Martindale Poems

Heavenly Father, Lord of all,
Creator of Mankind,
Appointing angels to the Church,
determined to be kind.
...

The fox, of course, was born with teeth that one day would be used!
Designed to hunt and cause some grief and so it's been accused!
Who owns the land on which it stalks the prey it needs to live?
Is it the man who's tamed the hawks and dogs that won't forgive?
...

Boy with a dolphin, two species at play!
Submerged for a moment then up to the spray!
Two mammals at leisure, no danger in sight
Just swimming together neath golden sunlight!
...

Some days I feel,
I feel somethin’s missin’.
Der’s a hole in ma life,
Somethin’ left undun...
...

As precious as a snowflake that's born on Christmas Day,
Or icing on the Christmas cake that makes us shout, 'Hoorah! '
As gracious as a waterfall and rainbows up above,
Is she to me, the girl I call the sweetheart that I love...
...

The penguins waddled gamely on,
Not one said, 'Boy, we're lost! '
They had the sun to hope upon
And so the ice they crossed!
...

When I reflect upon her face,
No matter, day or night.
I sometimes feel my heartbeat race
Expressing my delight.
...

The teacher prayed to God above for wisdom day-by-day,
For only He had perfect love and insights to relay.
The teacher saw the vision come and looked at it amazed,
For it was meant for all not some, yet not a word was phrased.
...

I saw her in a midnight dream,
She read the words I wrote...
She thought my poem quite supreme
And of it soon took note...
...

The lion lay upon the rock,
His son beside him now...
As if the two were taking stock
Of what God would allow...
...
