Wondrous Words Are Like Caresses! Poem by Denis Martindale

Wondrous words are soft caresses
That nestle in the soul,
With each touch, each one then blesses,
Towards the poem's whole...
And I am free to choose those
That complement my theme,
To help it, as it grows and grows,
As if within a dream...

Wondrous words are my foundation
To tell the tale to all,
Yet they offer inspiration
As each obeys God's call...
May these thoughts preserve their meaning
Long after I have gone,
But without my intervening
Beyond God's light that shone...

Wondrous words create new splendour,
Adorning like a robe,
With fine fabrics, oh so tender,
The envy of the globe...
And by these, hope springs eternal,
Just like one poem says,
Thus against all things infernal,
God conquers through our prayers!

Wondrous words transform the scholars
That study day and night,
For each word's worth more than dollars
In which some folks delight...
I'd rather share a noble rhyme
Than copper, silver, gold,
Just like the prophets throughout time
And psalmists young and old...

So, pardon me, if I enthuse,
Because words thrill me so,
Through these I learnt God's great Good News!
God loves me, that I know...
That's why I'll sing 'How Great Thou Art'
Till heard in Paradise,
That I may bless my Saviour's heart
With wondrous words so wise...
