Mary Ryan Poems

There is nothing so innocent as a child
With eyes closed and head bowed in prayer
With a pure and simple faith
He gives thanks to the God who created him
...

My life in Christ has started, my journey’s just begun
My old life is ended, my wandering is all done
There are so many things I’ll do for Him, to show Him that I care
My life, my time, my money—with others I will share
...

The stars and stripes
Reflect my freedom
In this land
I live each day
...

My life was shattered, I was broken and in pain
So much I'd lost I thought there was nothing to gain
My past lay behind me, my future unknown
And a place I was seeking, a church to call 'Home'
...

America’s pride is growing.
America’s pride is showing.
Flags I see—it seems everywhere.
But were they always there?
...

One day Your call I heeded
In the midst of my restless wandering life
Your saving grace is what I needed
To quiet my trouble and strife
...

When they saw Christ's death upon the cross
Many counted it a tragic loss
But for the believers they counted it gain
Never to fear eternity ever again
...

Have you heard the news?
We’ve declared ourselves free
And now such a task
Is entrusted to me
...

Sitting in an emtpy house
Waiting for the phone to ring
Sitting in an empty house
Wanting someone to call about anything
...

I'm going to tell you something you might consider funny
But Easter isn't all about the hip hoppity bunny
NOr is at about candy and all those other sweets
And the eggs in the basket and other fun treats
...
