Henry Brown Poems

What's the use in living
If you're always taking and never giving

There's such a need out there
...

Dot and Mike you have been married for 40 years and that is a long long time
Yet Mike I am sure you remember looking into Dots eyes saying will you be mine

With her heart really beating fast
...

Since we were tiny we always wanted a present given to everyone of us
We would grab it with both hands and open it without any kind of fuss

Some were clothes, food or even a little toy
...

Grace is not about saving face
Nor is it about winning the race

It is not about keeping up with the pace
...

Dear fellow poets from far and wide
You pen your words with grace and pride

Some with ideas that come thick and fast
...

While on earth I thought most of us would go to hell,
Especially the snotty ones for I could easily tell.

They walked about with an air that would have scared a goat,
...

God gives us a gift He calls the present
Use every second wisely so you will never resent

Your past or you future and what may have made you blue
...

Cried God give me a vision
God said it’s time for you to make a decision

I cried lord give me timing and precision
...

I wish that my heart was just so big that I could love the whole wide world
I wish I could also hold everyone who was ever hurt it seems to be absurd

I wish that with every beat of my heart I could give away a million
...

Focus on your covenant with God and not survival
Surely if you do this you will see a revival

It starts with being a servant to all
...
