Tom Zart Poems

We're a nation of frazzled families
With little time for personal affection.
As the treadmills of tension keep us hostage
We're losing our perspective of direction.
...

Thank God I prayed to Jesus Almighty
When I was all most persuaded to stray.
Instead I asked for His compassion and wisdom
And here's what He told me to say.
...

Love and electricity are a lot alike
For we never seem to miss them till their gone.
We need both, every day of our life
And even more between twilight and dawn.
...

The best way to understand the value of patience
Is to witness its outcome on our life.
David was just a boy when he learned to wait
As should every man, woman, child, husband and wife.
...

I was almost convinced by the Devil
To allow my heart to run astray.
But instead I prayed to Jesus
And here's what He had to say.
...

If it was left to me and my desire
I would seek satisfaction every other night.
I would enjoy your divine, God given love
And hold you forever close and tight.
...

So here I am, like many times before
All alone with my face to the moon.
Down on knees praying to God
For someone who will love me and soon!
...

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.
...

That road of pleasure seeking
Has so many deep pitfalls
And all the while we walk on it
In the distance the Devil calls.
...

Once upon a time, not so long ago
I was lonely with no one to love.
I was without food, shelter and completely broke
With no hope but prayer to overcome the above.
...
