Tom Zart Poems

David, the shepherd, a tender of sheep
Would pray to his God before he would sleep.
One day he awoke to the roar of beasts
A bear and a lion in search of a feast.
...

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.
...

A cry to the Father of both heaven and Earth
Is rooted in faith He will free us from sin.
He shall respond with love and clear direction
As we pray for deliverance and to be born again.
...

Those who wish to be, not forgotten
Just days after they're dead and gone.
Must sing such things worth remembering
Or commit acts, worth passing on.
...

MAILMAN FOR THE LORD

Through faith, love, prayer and compliance we can succeed
Overcoming the demands and falsehoods of strife.
...

Poets as a rule are high on adventure
Like wondering bards or prophets today.
Embracing hearts and minds with wisdom
Casting through verse their visions at play.
...
