Tom Zart Poems

Help keep America free from demise
Like so many times in history before.
How many families have wept at Christmas
As there sweethearts marched off to war?
...

Most are as God had promised
Though many are far worse.
Our characters are not of marble
So the Devil may work his curse.
...

No priest provides our freedom of faith
No reporter grants us liberty to voice.
No judge, lawyer, politician or teacher
Only the lives of soldiers at risk by choice.
...

Little baby, I love you
For you are a part of me
Each and every inch you'll grow
I want to be there to see.
...

America, the abundant, the place I was born
I'll cherish till the day I die.
Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground
Who loved her the same as I.
...

What Satan has planned for our harm
Integrity will transform to good.
Adhering to morals gives us peace
Teaching us to respond, as we should.
...

The leaves of the cottonwoods hung motionless
As outside the walls Santa Anna's horde closed in.
A small band of Texans watched and waited
Preoccupied by combat and how life would end.
...

The stands are full of eager fans
Who say, we're paid too much money!
But if they would put our suits on
They'd find football isn't funny.
...

Greed is an unwholesome desire
A craving to obtain all desired by man.
Caused by gluttonous, ego and conceit
As we eagerly grasp everything we can.
...

The Lord can close doors no man can open
And open doors no man can close.
It's up to us to prove our worth
By example of the path we chose.
...
