Denis Martindale Poems

The lioness first saw her mate
And sensed her future set,
It was as if a call from Fate,
The call she hoped to get...
...

God made the night and made the day,
God made the course of time,
God made a garden Man could stay,
God made all things sublime...
...

Despite the lions having strength,
They, too, must rest a while,
Just lion down, they stretch full length,
Abandoning all style...
...

The tiger stood his ground one day,
Like posers often do,
To let the others have their say,
Express their point of view...
...

I tried! I tried! I tried my best! The words I can't recall...
I know those words were truly blessed, they were incredible!
They came within a midnight dream! I'm here at 1 a.m.
My pleasant mood became extreme, 'I can't remember them! '
...

Two wolves were waiting side-by-side,
At peace, they looked serene,
Yet both their eyes were open wide
With hunting skills so keen...
...

Those without a moral compass
Have lived to know the shame.
Those without the Saviour Jesus
Treat life as if a game...
...

Three little meerkats looked ahead
At different angles then
There was no sudden awful threat
That was beyond their ken...
...

The polar bear looked at her child,
The one she must defend,
The son who soon would face the wild,
The one who was her friend...
...

It is a matter of life and death.
We sense our mortality in the destiny of another.
This isn't easy for us to confront.
We seek ignorance of such final thoughts.
