Denis Martindale Poems

Sometimes I ask the Lord in prayers, What's the meaning of life?
I wonder what the Bible says about Man's pain and strife?
Sometimes I think I understand, at other times, I'm lost!
So many doctrines close at hand that followed Pentecost!
...

When solemn evening faded in
In this new neighbourhood,
The Bengal tiger waded in,
As silent as he could.
...

The lion cubs approached with guile,
Each facing off with glee,
Behind their growls each had a smile
That only friends could see...
...

White tigers like to rest and so
They find a gentle spot
And there, they stay, just laying low,
As they like that a lot.
...

Perceive the opportune moment,
The second so sublime,
The precious gift that's Heaven-sent
At that most gracious time.
...

Please teach me, Lord, I'm ready now,
As ready as could be,
No longer proud and so I bow
Before Your Majesty...
...

'If you send a thousand dollars,
Then God will bless your heart! '
Yet no matter how he hollers,
I've no money for a start...
...

She was a television star
And famed across the land.
Her beauty made me shout, 'Hoorah! ',
As most would understand.
...

Two tiger cubs had claimed a tree
As if it were their own
And guarded it with dignity,
As if they were full-grown!
...

Blessed is the soul that's born again,
Cleansed by the Blood of Christ,
That mighty flood that teaches men
How much God sacrificed.
...
