Tom Zart Poems

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.
...

Where would I be without you dad
My hero of night and day
I'm so glad you love my mother
And think of us when you pray
...

TEARS

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.
...

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.
...

Darling I love you with all of my heart and soul
Much more than any of God's blessings on Earth.
It's hard to believe Heaven planned it this way
For your love for me is far beyond my worth.
...

A ready resource for us to stay focused on love
Is God Himself who transforms our souls.
Our Heavenly Father’s word helps us to understand
Our fears, misjudgments, failures and goals.
...

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.
...

Even when Jesus suffered the ungodly and unimaginable
He never lost sight of the joy beyond Heaven’s gate.
Just as our Savior, God is working in our trials
As we contemplate our blessings and faithfully await.
