Tom Zart Poems

My life overflows with happiness
As my favorite dreams come true.
My days and nights are magical
Because of everything you do.
...

Should tomorrow start without me
Remember I love you.
Looking down from up above
Seeing everything you do.
...

BASEBALL

A game called prison ball was enjoyed in France
while English boys played rounder in short pants.
...

Cannons are bursting hot metal from the ground.
Soldiers are looting and burning our town.
The fever of fear rushes through my veins
As too many Bluecoats jump from troop trains.
...

GOD'S POETS

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
...

SEX

Where would we be without sex
Like coffee minus the sugar and cream.
As Adam was before he knew Eve
With no purpose to dream or scheme
...

There's no greater power on Earth
Than the love we get from our mothers.
They feel our fears within themselves
Far more than sisters or brothers.
...

It’s not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion
And it’s not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
It’s not any judge, lawyer, politician, or teacher
But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.
...

Blessed are those who hunger for love
Who learn life’s secret of abundance and need.
For they shall be satisfied by God Himself
As by faith they overcome shame, fear and greed.
...

When Jesus commands “To Love Our Neighbors”
He’s preaching to serve others as our deeds are sown.
His life was an example how to love people
As we learn to survive relationships of our own.
