Denis Martindale Poems

A billion diamonds dwell on Earth, for wedding rings and more,
For those in love who found true worth and pray for what's in store.
Their future beckons day-by-day, perhaps with children, too...
Yet lonely people pine away, no blessings yet in view...
...

Because God loved the world He gave
His one and only Son,
Because no other came to save
With grace for everyone...
...

JESUS IS FOR EVERYBODY!


Because God loved the world He gave
...

Of all the meerkats that I've seen,
The laziest of all,
Was one who woke up not quite keen
And he was known as Paul...
...

The competition prize looked great, he puzzled what to write,
He wanted it to be first rate, stand out in black and white...
Not just look good there on the page, but something to recite
And even thought he'd reached that stage at ten o'clock that night...
...

I have lived in interesting times...
I have lived through wars and earthquakes.
I have endured aches and pains
And I have endured agony... and hated it.
...

Behold the poet deep within, that awesome little soul,
That tiny light that won't give in, give up or lose control...
That precious beauty, shining bright, amid a stream of stars,
That gracious duty meant to write, that seeks to be first class!
...

There was a man of God I knew...
Grace blessed him every day,
When sorrows came, he struggled through...
But then he fell away...
...

There's still a righteous faith within
That hearts of gold can share!
Despite each sorrow and each sin
That saints confess in prayer...
...

When God created Man on Earth
And woman as his wife,
He thus bestowed both grace and worth
Each precious day of life...
...
