Frank Adie Poems

Lord Jesus:

Teach me to know how to crave,
And to crave for only things that are profitable.
...

How where you created,
O you weapon of mass destruction?
How did you become the most dangerous tool of man?
You are replete with pleasure,
...

When I am happy, with you I smile
When I am pained, with you I cry
When I am hungry, with you I eat
When I am sick, with you I am medicated.
...

You were the youngest among five male children
You turned out to be the first to die
I watched you bubble with life as I grew up
Until the malady called diabetes struck.
...

I stood in front of a gigantic gate,
Such as no mortal eye have ever seen,
And no mortal mind can imagine;
Knock! Knock! ! Knock! ! ! I tapped on the gate,
...

Keep me strong and healthy
Happiness is not about being wealthy
All that matters is my basic needs
Let me obtain them via good deeds
...

We were hit by a sharp smell
Someone has unleashed a deadly missile
In the midst of praise and worship
In the house of God
...

Trust your struggle,
And do not grumble,
That life is full of trouble,
Is not at all a fable.
...

You have got to identify your class,
And mix up with your kind;
Be a king in your domain,
And stay on top of your game.
...

I run this race with wobbly steps,
It's the devil's trick and evil plans,
To keep me chained in his world of doom,
When the saints will be enjoying the boom.
...
