Never Underestimate The Power Of Love! Poem by Denis Martindale

Of all the world's entirety,
Its share of young and old,
Reflect upon Man's dignity,
Its faith as pure as gold...
And call to mind, the deepest love,
The deepest love of all,
For that is where we rise above
And seek a miracle...

The praying mother on her knees,
The choir in the Church,
The patient saint who seeks to please,
The knight, his quest to search...
The king, the queen, the nobleman,
The scholar reading still,
For such as these, God has a plan,
According to His will...

And there are poets, songsmiths, too,
With word skills all their own,
Who transform words like I LOVE YOU,
With wondrous truths unknown...
As God upholds Man's hopes and dreams,
His visions pour like wine,
Defying all the Devil's schemes
With power that's divine...

Behold this world, this dot in space,
This tiny realm we share,
Yet then regard the Saviour's face
And scars He chose to bear...
The power of love can raise the dead
And heal the sick as well,
The Saviour's Blood was truly shed
To rescue us from Hell...

If not for love, God's mercies fade,
For patience has its length,
Consider everything God made
When God gave Man his strength...
That's why faith grows despite one's youth
And family bonds grow strong,
Yet uppermost, the love of truth,
Shows how we may belong...

To fools, new love can offer joy,
Romance and nothing else,
Beginning with each girl and boy
And what their future tells...
To sacrifice one's life for those
We know and love is pure,
Yet greater love, the Father knows
And Jesus, to be sure...

The Gospel prophecies exist
To light our path each day,
So that in love we may persist,
Forgive along the way...
For Jesus died not just to save,
He died that we might live,
If we would honour what He gave,
Then we, too, must forgive...

God sets this challenge to Mankind,
This test of tests remains,
On Earth, we either loose or bind,
Yet not for our own gains...
The Holy Spirit tells us things,
No mortal soul could know,
He guides the prophets, lords and kings,
They sense the debt they owe...

This poet waits the power of love,
The essence of Man's faith,
With grace that proves itself enough
When nothing else can save...
If not for love, why live at all?
If not for God, why care?
If not for grace, the mighty fall,
That's why we should love prayer...

Christ said, 'I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS',
That must not be ignored,
Prayer changes things... It leads to praise,
With answers from the Lord...
This world needs love, no more, no less,
Yet conscience is our guide,
How else can God each heart still bless
Unless love lives inside?
