Denis Martindale Poems

Yes, yes, you must be born again,
Of all the things to do,
Undo the past, repent and then
Make God grant something new...
...

Saint Valentine's? That's not for him!
He steers well clear of that!
Despite the fact, his future's grim,
He's quite the scaredy-cat!
...

When God made creatures in their turn and for each kind of thing,
He had the wisdom to discern that Man should be the king...
Yet wisdom meant there should be less upon this Earth to rule,
That's why He chose this world to bless, from vast to miniscule...
...

Well, first of all, it helps to learn
The letters, words and such,
So that true wisdom you discern
And love it oh so much...
...

Each man who ever fell in love
Could promise anything,
Go out and buy her fancy stuff,
Or even buy a ring...
...

If I were rich and brave and cute,
Life wouldn't be the same!
Of all the changes to bear fruit,
Vows meant to change your name...
...

Behold the vast effects of time!
Some wondrous and some sad,
Some quite exquisite and sublime,
Some even make us glad...
...

There's got to be an answer, Lord! So many still in pain,
So many left to be ignored, again and again and again.
We've seen these in the far-off lands, we've seen these here as well,
We've seen the failures of men's plans, we've seen things go to Hell.
...

Let Jesus be your living Lord,
The King who leads the way,
The King who keeps your soul assured
Each time that you obey...
...

The Bible shows that it's God's Word,
It's full of prophecies,
It also tells what once occurred,
Beyond both war and peace...
