Some Covet To Prophesy! Poem by Denis Martindale

I had no topic in my mind, yet here I start today,
In search of new rhymes yet to find to help me on my way…
I've made a start yet where from here? I ponder for a while,
Then all at once, I lose all fear and simply have to smile!

I got a wondrous thought just then, it's caused me to take care,
As facing truths beyond my ken, yet being made aware…
This thought has spurred me further still, so my heart feels content,
As if in service to God's will, the Gospel to present…

And so I write of Gospel themes, like prophets long ago,
The ones with visions and with dreams, the ones who loved God so…
Such that I pause, content to be, among their number now,
Aware of awesome prophecy, the things God must allow…

And can it be, the visions seen, revealed before my eyes,
Prove that the Lord will intervene no matter what Man tries?
To bring to pass the words declared, each earthquake and much more?
Then Christ returns, the world's repaired and peace replaces war?

I only know that I still hope, despite what men deny,
As I looked through God's telescope, with my head still held high,
For revelation tells me all, beyond this present year,
God's promised me a miracle… I'll soon be leaving here!
