Denis Martindale Poems

Creation's such a wondrous thing!
Who else but God made this?
And thus what praises should we bring,
For truly they are His?
...

To some, this tiger was a prince,
For he stood out a mile,
I've seen him twice and ever since
I still recall his smile...
...

Snow leopards braved the Winter chill
As lonesome as could be,
Somewhere upon a snow-capped hill
They stayed there, one, two three...
...

In God's time, He made a guru, an expert in his field,
Then God asked him, 'What will you do with wisdom I revealed? '
The guru answered straight away! 'Lord, here am I, send me!
Lord, my heart's willing to obey, yet I deserve a fee! '
...

God grants the wisdom to look back, to study distant things,
To wander off the beaten track in search of ancient kings.
To study maps and newfound sites and covet treasures lost,
Yet chief of all these sweet delights goes far beyond the cost.
...

The lioness and cubs remained
As close as close could be,
For now with nothing to be gained
Amid the scenery...
...

The cheetah cub had no idea
That she was royalty,
For no-one there had made it clear
She had a destiny...
...

The first verse in the Bible says
That God made everything,
No wonder we should say our prayers
And all our praises bring...
...

It came to pass one deadly day the Antichrist was born,
Despite the fact that Christians pray and seek this world to warn...
For destiny must play its part, fulfilling prophecies,
Regardless of Christ's painful heart concerning tragedies...
...

A tiny black jaguar cub,
So sleek and so petite,
Was now a member of the club
That made them feel complete...
...
