Royston Allen Poems

A new year's journey has just begun
and I will walk it with God's dear Son.
With Jesus my Lord I'll face each day
knowing He'll walk with me all the way.
...

I know tomorrow will never be mine
so I live my life one day at a time.
For tomorrow will never come my way
and for me it will always be today.
...

Some believe we began in the primeval slime
back near the dawning of our earthly time.
A fortuitous concord of atoms are we
Evolving by chance throughout our history.
...

With nimble fingers dashing across the keyboard
they created melody with every chord.
My soul was lifted to heaven as they began
their duet on the piano and church organ.
...

Be still now, and let your soul be at peace.
Let your heart rejoice and all cares release.
Listen well to the quiet voice from above
and let your life be filled with Gods’ great love.
...

She springs around like a lively gazelle
and of her beauties this poet will tell
...

The crowd outside were wailing and crying.
for the daughter of Jairus lay dying
Then some people came saying she was dead
and poor Jairus felt such sorrow and dread.
...

In church we've met
lest we forget.
Remembering,
their praise we sing
...

They gave themselves in bloody war
and months and years will see no more.
Their future and their existence gave
they were so young, they were so brave
...
