Denis Martindale Poems

A famous poet died one day
And then to Heaven rose,
Where angels' harps began to play
As each sound overflows...
...

Snow leopards are quite rare today,
In fact, they're almost through,
Unless Man seeks to pave the way,
To do what he can do...
...

Two barn owlets had nestled close,
Companions for a while,
With lovehearts faces there to pose,
Carefree, each with a smile...
...

When Father Time appeared to me,
I saw him in a dream,
His face benign with sympathy,
Not callous or extreme...
...

Though I dress up in pure white robes
With crucifix above
And preach to sinners with lost hopes,
I'm nothing without love...
...

God is good! Thank God for coffee!
It helps revitalise,
For every day, it proves the key
That helps unlock these eyes...
...

When I recall my youthful days,
The schools of years gone by,
I simply pause for prayers and praise,
Then wistfully I sigh...
...

By the stripes of Jesus Christ
Humanity is healed,
Far more than when first realised
Once truth has been revealed...
...

God's animal kingdom on Earth,
Still thrives 'most everywhere!
It spreads itself for all it's worth
On land, or sea or air...
...

Some elephants grow big and strong
Big ivory on show,
Because each tusk grows very long,
Curved forward, as you know...
...
