Denis Martindale Poems

How blessed is Eden now to me,
A Paradise on Earth,
That's stirring up new poetry
That's meant to prove her worth...
...

Global reach, eternal impact!
That's what the Gospel means,
Salvation now, to be exact,
Angels behind the scenes...
...

Without love God sent from Heaven
Each life fills with regret,
For how else is Man forgiven
And how else could God forget?
...

The leopard gamely woke from sleep
To greet the sun again,
He had a vigil he must keep
And couldn't rest till then...
...

At the top of Everest stands
Each writer of renown,
While lesser mortals use their hands
To tear that mountain down...
...

The solitary Polar Bear
Stood motionless with awe
And simply froze, content to stare,
At what God had in store...
...

Oh, how I long to make God laugh,
I think up things each day,
Pretend to swim inside my bath,
Or teach my dog to pray...
...

Och, beware the Scottish Wildcat!
He fairly chills the soul!
Just give him room, don't pause to chat,
Such beasties lose control!
...

The tigers woke from sleep again
And went off to explore,
The snow had settled uptil then
And life was such a bore...
...

The cat had wandered far from home,
God knows how he got there,
Now all alone he had to roam,
With no-one else to care...
...
