Albert Price Poems

To God I am thankful for many gifts;
But none more than a creative mind,
And the hands which are the finest tool,
With abilities to create that I easily can find.
...

The lights of Bethlehem still burn,
For Ruth’s mother-in-law to return.

Since her unfettered faith, so strong,
...

Across the lowly equator they have flown,
The days of sweltering heat and butterflies.
And the poinsettia shows all it green display,
Without the brightness of its yellow eyes.
...

Teach us, O Lord, the newness of wisdom;
Bestow on us daily the power of the mind.
Keep us humble by the knowledge of creation;
On your sustenance allow us to continually dine.
...

Since 1913 the crosswords have beguiled our minds,
Moreover, giving our word power a needed boost.
So our lexicon goes thru nimbleness of all kinds,
Searching dearly to come up with words of little use.
...

Snow flakes seem to do a majestic dance in the air;
Or so it appears at the opening of the chapel door.
Gingerly walking down the front marble stair,
I head into the darkness with holiday joy in store.
...

Oh, to have the wisdom of Solomon over woman,
So to incorporate all the celestial stars in my realm;
As did Solomon in all the realm of his kingdom,
Place all feminine beauty of the cosmos under him.
...

My wondering mind imprisoned for a long dark spell
Soothes my restless heart until dawn comes into view.
Then my sleep filled eyes behold horizon's red glowing shell
And the rising crimson clouds turn the sky into a rosy hue.
...

When rivers flow thru lifeless spots,
‘Tis the time for which my heart longs,
Like parents finding their lost tots-
Soothing as sunrise to the forlorn,
...

The nation’s dream is built in our hearts,
Though its components our factories make.
Its majesty greater than the sum of its parts
Sounds the call at which our hope will awake.
...
