Matt Johnson Poems

Such a gift of love so pure, so tender yet with such great strength
You move the hearts of all that see you, yet you are unaware of it
The name of Faith your mom placed on you is so perfect in your birth
As you struggle for every breath because you were born early
...

The times we spent, the things we learned
As we passed from first to last
The darkness of our former world
Is now our treasured past!
...

Based on Psalm 100 (The Message)

The sheer beauty of our God just takes our breath away
We can not sit, we must now stand, to give to Him our praise
...

Hundreds are the choices, thousands are the thoughts
Garbled all together as a stew within the pot
Daily from this brew at times of simmer or of rage
Need pour forth words of value to place upon the page
...

Poets are without the funds for works that they enjoy
Though needing help they can not take assistants to employ
Though brilliant shining wordsmiths blow so greatly on the fire
The final treasured product is as valued as the mire
...

Away or give some space
Alone but not my place
And so they go
Away
...

I still think plastic colors should have taste
I still look at butterflies amazed
I still catch snowflakes on my tongue
The snow angel is a lot bigger
...

Whisper so they shouted
Shuffled feet not cards
They didn't know
I didn't care
...
