Denis Martindale Poems

Who knows the best of what's online,
Of where to get text checked?
Some can provide results divine
And treat words with respect.
...

There's precious power, borne of prayer, beyond Man's common sense,
And this great power proves quite rare to those who aren't God's friends.
Our faith transcends Man's time and space, ascending far beyond,
God's Throne of Grace, Amazing Grace, for there, we truly bond.
...

Sometimes we need updating, too, it's then the gurus guide,
Advising us in what to do and what we should decide.

So let's give thanks, for such as these, so we continue still,
...

While here on Earth, the Saviour cared, compassion was His aim,
His was the journey God prepared, God's glory to proclaim.
Baptised in water, yes, indeed, and by God's Spirit, too,
With miracles now guaranteed, back then and now for you.
...

When I start writing poetry, I can recite alone,
Beyond the text on lines I see, I can detect the tone.
Yet there are times I contemplate, is there another way,
To hear the words, then meditate, on what I want to say?
...

In Nature, there are many names
That modern Man bestows,
And that is why this duck now claims
The present name it shows.
...

Behold the colours on this bird,
Take note of all you see,
And by such beauty then get stirred,
When matched by scenery.
...

It's no wonder that I wonder at things that can be found,
Far beyond my fears of thunder and storms that may astound.
The breezes carry flower seeds to fall upon the ground,
Some tinier than necklace beads that swirl and twirl around.
...

He really stood the test of time, a faithful friend and more,
His influence was quite sublime, through miracles galore.

He knew the God-sent destiny that Israel would fulfill,
...

How sweet the words of holy prayers, when whispered by the saints,
Or gently spoken, when one cares, and then God's answer gains.
Since answered prayer grants more belief, for even greater things,
To bring some stranger fast relief, through Christ, the King of Kings.
...
