Denis Martindale Poems

A winsome lass I spied one day
Who cared not for herself.
As she went on her winsome way,
She thanked God for her health.

THE LOVELY LADY LINNEA


A winsome lass I spied one day
...

An aspect of water
Is that it owns all, yet possesses nothing,
That it is service-bent, yet never spent...
It is the revered ancestor of all living things...
...

Two gases gelled and fluid formed and flowed on planet Earth.
A billion droplets swiftly swarmed, the oceans to give birth.
The fish were scattered here and there and dolphins added, too.
Above them, rainbows would appear, to glorify the view.
...

The choir sang, I saw her face,
Her teeth as white as pearls,
As she personified God's grace,
Adorned with pure blonde curls.
...

Black sapphires nestle in her hair
And in her eyebrows, too.
Her gentle smiles, so sweet to share,
Are blessings ever new.
...

Another soul, it's not your own... and yet you get a thrill,
As you stand proud and cast a stone, perhaps new blood to spill...
With wicked words, watch evil spread and escalate some more...
And without love, you count the dead, as peace descends to war.
...

As long as love exists on Earth
And stars in Heaven shine,
As long as love can prove its worth
And there's a Valentine,
...

'Son, follow me up the mountain! ' my Father said to me.
'The Rapture will occur this day, today, just wait and see! '
He led the way and I stayed near, to make sure he was safe
And all the while he shared the truth that helped explain his faith.
