Denis Martindale Poems

Dear Lord, we pray for the nations,
The children of this Earth,
For their joys or tribulations,
For each land has its worth...
...

Guy the Gorilla was famous,
He lived at London Zoo,
Yet perhaps that fact should shame us,
To put his life on view...
...

God's ultimate revelation,
I wonder what it is,
Was it merely the Creation
That brought the angels bliss?
...

Behold the importance of prayer,
The foremost act of choice,
To intercede, beseech, or share,
Perhaps with spoken voice...
...

The Lord's so gracious to forgive
And righteous in His ways
And seeking those who want to live,
Like angels, full of praise...
...

Saint Valentine's! It won't be long!
We're in that fortnight now!
When men can get it right or wrong
With gifts they bought somehow...
...

My word, white tigers look so fine,
Yet this one looked worn out,
Flat out, as if he must recline,
No more to stroll about...
...

If I should pen my deepest thoughts,
For this whole world to share,
Not treat these as my life's reports,
Of which I'm well aware,
...

The angel of the Lord came down
And placed his hand on mine
And told me I don't need to frown
If I'd write out each line...
...

Redeem yourselves, Mankind, I say!
Escape the loss of land,
So that you save what's left to stay,
Check what the Lord has planned...
...
