Doris Clore Demaree Poems

Esther, the queen,
Was a Jewess,
Though the king did not know it.
The wicked Haman
...

Whatever God wanted him to do,
Daniel did.
No matter
What harm might come to him.
...

The Bible tells the story of Samson,
A very strong man.
As he went down to Timnah
He was attacked by a fierce lion.
...

Jesus helped everyone he could.
'This,' he said, 'is how to do good.'
He told the tale of a man who was hurt,
...

'I wish I could see him,' Zacchaeus said.
He had cheated so many his face was red
With shame that Jesus would know.
...

Jesus had good news to share
About how much the Father's care
Is ever toward his children.
...

When Jesus wished to cross the lake
His friends agreed to row.
But in the night a storm came up
...

Long ago, Philip met a traveling man
Reading his Bible. 'Perhaps I can
Tell you what it means,' he said.
...

'God will provide,' the Israelites said.
'He will send our daily bread.'

They traveled far! They traveled long!
...

Long ago when the world began
Eve, the woman, and Adam, the man,
Worshiped God in the Garden.
...
