Royston Allen Poems

My dear, I almost lost you yesterday
my life all shattered and in disarray.
God could have chosen us by death to part
and brought so much sadness to my heart.
...

As He died and breathed out His final breath
Speaking words much stronger than those of death.
Words of forgiveness and of loving care
hanging on the cross in agony there.
...

Your arms of love enfold around me
and embrace me in passion so warmly
They entwine me with great emotion
Expressing your love and your devotion
...

Then I heard the flowers speaking to me
in them the Glory of God I could see.
They had all been set out with loving care
by the person who had arranged them there.
...

The world tries to squash us into its mould
warping our character as we grow old.
Nibbling away over the passing years
trying to make us assertive and fierce.
...

He would not let Jesus pass him by.
Called out to the Saviour with a loud cry.
It was his last chance to be made whole.
For blind from birth was this poor soul.
...

The fruit of the Spirit manifest in the flesh
Beauty of character wrapped in righteousness
Manhood and Deity in perfect harmony
Such splendour and majesty in Jesus I see
...

Living on a shoestring, making ends meet
Providing food and comfort’s no mean feat
...

Let’s turn the other cheek
and not be arrogant but meek.
Greet our enemy with a smile
and walk the extra mile.
...
