Tom Zart Poems

SAD DAD IN JAIL
They put me in prison for the deed I've done
I killed the drunk driver who crippled you, son.
Your mother, my wife, she died in the wreck
...

Sunday, December the seventh
In the year of 1941,
While most of Hawaii still slept
Came the planes of the Rising Sun.
...

Death, violence and hate are to educate our souls
As love, faith and hope give us fulfillment to our goals.
Fear is the Devil’s most favorite tool of demise
Where our trust in Jesus makes us grateful and wise.
...

LONELINESS OF WAR

I know I'm still here so far, far away
As I fight for what I believe is right.
...

THE STORMS OF LIFE

The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
...

There’s nothing more rewarding than a devoted woman’s love
That worships God and you both inside and out.
Life’s best gift of all is a lady's need for her man
Even though sometimes they may fuss, cry and pout.
...

Spiritual freedom from guilt, defiance, shame and lies
Comes from hard work, faith, trust, deliverance and prayer.
Humbling ourselves before our Lord of life and creation
Asking for His transformation beyond all mortal compare.
...

Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there's one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.
...

The message of the cross is God loves you
No matter how many misjudgments you make.
His purpose is to restore your need for Him
At times of fear, unawareness, shame and mistake.
...

Take a long honest look at your life
Do you feel needed, loved and complete?
Or is there a sense that something is missing
As you defy God's will in ignorance and defeat.
