Best Poem Ever! Poem by Denis Martindale

Best Poem Ever!



The angel of the Lord appeared
With scroll and quill at hand
And then to me he gently neared
To say what God had planned...
He told me straight that I must write
A poem to be blessed,
In fact, he promised me that night,
It was to be the best!

So I began at first to think
Of words that I would share,
Then realised there was no ink,
Just scroll and quill and prayer...
The angel bid me write without,
Then ink would be supplied,
So I dispelled all trace of doubt
And thus I humbly tried...

The ink appeared upon the scroll
As each new word was thought,
To leave my spirit and my soul
As I wrote what I ought...
So I explained the Cross of Christ
With Mother Mary close,
The Lamb of God was sacrificed,
Surrounded by His foes...

The Easter Story said it all,
But now my words brought tears
And on the scroll to spill and fall,
To signify my fears...
For I could not be brave as He,
My Saviour, Lord and King,
The Friend of Sinners died for me
And that meant everything...

The poem finished, tears above,
It vanished from my sight,
God took the symbol of my love
And then the quill took flight...
The angel smiled because he knew
How much the Lord was pleased,
Then said, 'My friend, God loves you, too...
And now with love increased...'

The angel vanished from my home,
Just as I sensed he would,
To leave me thinking of that poem,
That made my heart feel good...
I can't recall each word, each rhyme,
But still throughout the years,
I can't forget that precious time,
The reason for my tears...
