E.O.P. Poem by Denis Martindale

Extraordinary person? Yes! He really blew my mind!
He thought of new ways he could bless this world and all Mankind.
He saved up money day by day, yet not amassing wealth,
Because he gave some cash away, not thinking of himself.
He chose to bless some charities with cash and gifts as well,
Perhaps that's why God gave increase to buy what others sell.

He bought new Bibles by the score, and saved cash every time,
And then he'd get a hundred more. That's what I call sublime.
A thousand later soon arrived, in boxes now and then,
In doing this, his faith revived, as if ten out of ten.
I've never met a guy like this, who did the things he could,
Extraordinary love was his… So all he did was good.


Denis Martindale, for the 22nd of November 2023.
