Denis Martindale Poems

Across the oceans and the seas... the mercy ships must go...
As hospitals that help release... what only surgeons know...
They operate on those in need... perform what must be done...
That's why I pray and intercede... in Jesus Name, God's Son...
...

In the city of destruction... a graceless man was he...
Yet he made this sad deduction... of coming tragedy...
He warned the ones most close to him... yet they dismissed his claim...
Are you making progress, pilgrim? Or are things just the same?
...

I would rather hear the Good News... all through the live-long day...
I would rather hear the good views... praise God, thank God and pray...
But bad things happen all the time... that add to stress and strife...
Yes, bad things happen, crime by crime... with even loss of life...
...

To others, you're some little verse that Denis chose to share...
One day with more words to immerse himself without a care...
And yet, to him, your beauty glows, like rainbows in the sky...
Or like sweet water as it flows, draws near and then goes by...
...

Quality time with God makes sense... far better on the whole...
It's worth more than your time with friends... who cannot save your soul...
Can they grant power from above? Can they guide every day?
Can they respond with greater love? Or hear you when you pray?
...

The fruit of love's quite plain to see... it blossoms like the rose...
It starts like every mystery... a secret till it grows...
And when full grown, the fruit's so good... for family and friends...
And when it's blessed the neighbourhood... amazing grace descends...
...

Behold the realm of poetry... for earthbound hearts and minds...
The common man and royalty... whoever heeds the signs...
To pause, perceiving for a while.. another's tale when told...
Esteeming it and then to smile... at truths worth more than gold...
...

The King of Love... The Lord of Love... and all God means to be...
Grace and love... sufficient enough... for all eternity...
Why else would God forgive Mankind? Remember Calvary!
No greater love is there to find... Christ died... for you... and me...
...

When revelation takes its course... God knows the road ahead...
With vast improvements and less flaws... and much more faith instead...
Such that the team is growing strong... while on its learning curve...
To find a place it can belong... thus more inclined to serve...
...

Can human minds conceive such truth... that revelation shares?
Yet have no certain solid proof... despite a billion prayers?
No time machine to verify... no videos at all...
No witness left to testify... no magic miracle...
...
