Tom Zart Poems

COWBOY IN LOVE & LOST & ALONE

I’m just a cowboy who’s madly in love
God sent an angel from Heaven above.
...

LONELINESS OF WAR

I know I'm still here so far, far away
As I fight for what I believe is right.
...

THE STORMS OF LIFE

The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
...

SAD DAD IN JAIL
They put me in prison for the deed I've done
I killed the drunk driver who crippled you, son.
Your mother, my wife, she died in the wreck
...

Sunday, December the seventh
In the year of 1941,
While most of Hawaii still slept
Came the planes of the Rising Sun.
...

Death, violence and hate are to educate our souls
As love, faith and hope give us fulfillment to our goals.
Fear is the Devil’s most favorite tool of demise
Where our trust in Jesus makes us grateful and wise.
...

Mankind is born from a woman's womb
With a short life that's full of trouble.
Faith is our refuge in times of woe
For without it our troubles double.
...

The Devil communicates to each and every ear
And his favorite tool of corruption is fear.
But when we totally submit to our trust in God
We turn from temptation and our destiny is clear.
...

God must love people in love
Or He wouldn't have made so many.
Those who claim it's a mental disease
Have never been loved by any.
...

A game called prison ball was enjoyed in France
while English boys played rounder in short pants.
Town ball was the game that Americans played
While friends and family watched from the shade.
