Denis Martindale Poems

No poems can I leave behind to bless my children here,
Because, you see, of all Mankind, no woman sought me near...
No wife, no child, to grace my home, no future legacy,
No need reciting of a poem or any poetry...
...

If not for Jesus, this I know, lost souls can't be set free,
That's why my Jesus chose to go to Calvary for me.
God's revelation showed me all, no secret to conceal,
My heart received a miracle, beyond what it can feel.
...

Am I in love with Annika?
Can I confess it's true?
Rely on roses I'd pick her,
Or chocolates boxed and new?
...

There was an old lady from Glasgow,
There was an old guy from Kent
And every place that she would go
That gent seemed glad he went...
...

That first line dangles in the air,
It's ready to be caught,
As if its very soul to bear
Within your every thought...
...

May God bless those who love His Name this coming Christmas Day,
Because life's never quite the same when we give thanks and pray.
God's Son was born to save Mankind... Men brought gifts from afar.
By faith, they followed close behind the glowing guiding star.
...

The sad snow leopard waited still,
Perhaps he'd eat today,
Perhaps find warmth against the chill
That was snow-bound to stay...
...

The robin on the tree branch saw
The children in the snow,
To see a sight none could ignore,
He watched their snowman grow...
...

The first white tiger ever seen
Was quite a while ago,
Yet, from then on, Mankind was keen
To let the whole world know...
...

The tiger sweltered in the sun
And wandered to the stream,
Then, finally, that battle done,
He stood there in a dream...
