Denis Martindale Poems

What do I do with my money? I need the Lord's advice!
While, to some, that may sound funny... I really think it's wise...
He knows the bills I've got to pay... and those I don't have yet,
He's planned ahead for all I pray... so how could He forget?
...

When I tune in to Jesus Christ,
At home, with my TV,
I see my Saviour sacrificed,
For all humanity...
...

The tiger strode upon the earth,
The land he claimed as his,
Such that he had some sense of worth,
Some portion known as bliss...
...

The tiger cub was prone to sit,
To squat for all to see,
Perhaps to pause, to rest a bit,
Or just to pose with glee...
...

The big black wolf was strong and tough,
No coward soul was he,
But certainly devoid of love
When hunting carefully...
...

When falcons can be trained by Man,
A partnership is born
And if all things then go to plan,
Is that something to scorn?
...

Orangutans aren't widely known,
Like chimpanzees they roam,
Sometimes in groups, sometimes alone,
No special place as home...
...

The leopard cub that Man could view
Some distance seen away,
Was just another cub, that's true
And yet this made my day...
...

I fell in love with her picture
A long, long time ago,
Yet today I'm not much richer
By all the things I know.
...

Once given a heart, we should use it,
not just to pump blood back and forth,
but to desire what is truly beautiful,
not just seeking beauty for itself alone,
...
