The Born Again Poet! Poem by Denis Martindale

Because of Christ and Calvary,
I now fight the good fight!
Born again poet? Yes, that's me!
Alive each time I write.
For life itself has been transformed,
Transcending time and space,
When I see Christ, my heart feels warmed,
As we stand face-to-face.

For in the realm of Heaven's love,
Where angels come and go,
God's Throne stands tall, all else above,
For evermore aglow!
Thus saints arise from mortal toil,
Ascending to God's home,
Because on Earth each one proved loyal,
Now here, why should they roam?

Thus poets who once preached God's Word
Are welcomed one-by-one,
Through Easter knowing what occurred
They trusted in God's Son!
Behold the splendours there reserved
For both the young and old,
With every blessing well-deserved,
They walk God's streets of gold!

By faith, all poets start each line,
Content the end draws near,
Great poems flow like holy wine,
Till miracles appear!
Thus every poet born again,
Take comfort while alive,
Write poems till that moment when
In Heaven you arrive!

Who knows what wonders yet await?
Who knows how God will bless?
We only know that our God's great
And grants true happiness!
For what proves joy without a dream,
A vision or a hope?
Each poet's heart's a God-blessed stream
That reaches all the globe!

That's why I feel alive each time
Another poem's shared,
Perhaps with words God calls sublime
Because each time I cared.
To sacrifice each golden hour,
Itself proves great reward,
For from such love God grants us power
To serve our precious Lord!
