Denis Martindale Poems

The cheetah babies looked around
Like sourpusses do
So tired out that they both frowned
As they felt somewhat blue
...

Both young and old, the zebras came,
To dare to drink again.
Not one of these would know God's Name,
Yet He had sent the rain...
...

The Garden of Gethsemane was where the Saviour prayed...
Preparing faith for Calvary, He wept there, heart-dismayed...
Was this the night? Was this the hour? Was this the time for tears?
Was this the moment for God's power, God's love to cast out fears?
...

Yes, I must go on a diet! I really, really must!
Yes, it's true I'd loathe to try it, but if I don't, I'll bust!
I know it's hip, this losing weight, to join a gym and such,
But exercise, I'd simply hate, as I don't like it much...
...

Imagine all things beautiful,
Exquisite and sublime.
Quite delicate and lovable,
To stand the test of time,
...

The man of whom I choose to speak
Was holy as can be,
For he was sinless, quite unique,
The man who died for me...
...

In this most precious world we live
Are creatures wild and free
And while most take, we know some give
To share nobility
...

The lion cub was mighty proud
As he stared up above
And heard his father roar so loud,
For he was truly tough!
...

On blurb dot com I read of how
You could make your own book
With text and photos, added POW
To fashion your own look!
...

God's dolphin came to me last night -
I dreamt it rescued me!
It came to help me in my plight
As I was in the sea!
