Denis Martindale Poems

When Stephen Gayford paints for you
It's wondrous what will be,
Perhaps a close-up point of view
Of creatures few will see...
...

The young male lion lived life well,
A leader through and through,
With courage only time could tell,
Great expectations, too...
...

The tiger tottered to-and-fro,
Exhausted by the heat,
Then saw a magic silver glow
Upon a flattened sheet...
...

Oh, the white tiger was weary!
His tootsies throbbed and throbbed...
Though white tigers don't get teary,
He almost sighed and sobbed...
...

Let there be light, and there was light,
Let there be time and space
With suns and moons and stars in sight
That spin with wondrous grace...
...

There is the Saviour, strong and brave,
The whole world in His hands,
Yes, He is Lord because He gave
His life to serve God's plans...
...

When I look out the window
I see the world by day and night.
It changes everything I choose to write about.
Sunny days and stormy days we can all recognise,
...

While Mother Earth adorns herself
With splendid scenery,
It's God Himself who shares His wealth
Throughout eternity...
...

You bless the Church worldwide,
Our every prayer, You hear it,
Since Christ was crucified...
That's why disciples preach Good News,
...

Beyond the tall grass cheetahs roam,
Beside the waterhole,
As if it were their second home,
Seclusion for the soul...
...
