Tom Zart Poems

Our flag is fabric wove of thread
Carried by heroes live and dead.
She stands for justice and courage too
With her colors; red, white and blue.
...

The sad sound of muffled drums at roll
Tell the parting of a brave heart’s soul.
A ghostly guard of women and men
Never more to give love again.
...

I'm riding with an outfit
That's loyal to its brand
I've got a gun and a rope
Which I keep close at hand.
...

Anxiety is the result of when our desires are anything
Short of Gods will for us to heed and transform.
The day we quit being excited about our future
Is the day we fall victim to life’s sorrow and storm.
...

When you love a mean woman it hurts down deep
In the middle of the night when you find you can't sleep.
Somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong
Somebody show me before I've waited too long.
...

Life's a book written through
Where the pages are the years.
There's good, evil, false and true
With laughter, sweat, and tears.
...

Christmas is coming and I'm all alone
With no one to snuggle at night.
My wineglass is empty to help dull the desire
To kiss you by soft candlelight.
...

Many brave souls lived before now
Unwept and unknown by their face.
Lost somewhere in the distant night
Till a poet chronicles their grace.
...

God’s blessing of forgiveness is His power of resolve
To transform sinners both within and out.
Jesus is our example in every aspect of life
As we learn what sacrifice, love and purpose are about.
...

What does it mean to fight our battles on our knees,
Simply-that you and I must depend on prayer.
We must invest our time in seeking the Lord
Listening for His answer to our despair.
