Tom Zart Poems

MY WILD ROSE

You 're the full moon of my nights
And the sunshine of my day
Like a queen upon her throne
You rule what I do and say.
...

What would we become without compassion and faith
Selfish, mean, horrible and cruel night and day.
No fear of sin or committing what's wrong
Never to submit, disciple, glorify or pray.
...

Christians gather to express their love for God
As they sing songs of His greatness and pray.
They listen to teachers explain the Bible
And why its stories still relate today.
...

LIFE BEFORE DEATH

The Lord can close doors no man can open
And open doors no man can close.
...

Tolerant, supportive and sympathetic teachers are the best
While most seem ideal, some shouldn't teach at all.
Great teachers find their work fruitful and rewarding
As they pass on their knowledge with love as their call.
...

FAITH

So perfect is nature, though not by man
It's the brush of our Master that paints the land.
...

In the still dark early morning hours
Westport's bakers begin their God given craft.
Creating life's most mouthwatering pastries
Which make us feel fortified as we socialize and laugh.
...

AMERICAN SOLDIER

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.
...

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.
...

Sometimes it's hard to protect what is right
Sometimes we're scorned as for others we fight.
Some of us are willing regardless of loss
To commit our soul to save the cross.
...
