Tom Zart Poems

Crying out to God is a spiritual response
To an urgent need, fear, shame, or heartbreak.
A dangerous condition, physical pain, and confusion
Or just to confess our wrongdoing and mistake.
...

When it comes to the things of God our Father
Nothing is insignificant or unworthy to serve.
His love and creations are blessings to Earth
And all who have more than we earn or deserve.
...

Christmas is coming and I'm all alone
With no one to snuggle at night.
My wineglass is empty to help dull the desire
To kiss you by soft candlelight.
...

What would we become without God's hands of love
Lonely, anxious, scared, intimidated and sad.
With no one to yearn for or get excited about
No one to turn to, to keep thankful and glad.
...

A wise man gives up what he can't keep
To gain what he cannot lose.
Through life we make our judgments
Praying for the right path to choose.
...

What would we become without God's blessing of love
Lonely, depressed, scared, angry and sad.
With no one to yearn for or get excited about
No one to turn to, to keep thankful and glad.
...

I'm God's most published poet
Whose poems have meter and rhyme.
Stories of love, faith, hate, honor and duty,
Obedience, war, heroes, history and crime.
...

A ready resource for us to stay focused on love
Is God Himself who transforms our souls.
Our Heavenly Father’s word helps us to understand
Our fears, misjudgments, failures and goals.
...

Tears are the raindrops of the soul
And there's one for all who die.
They are the silent words of grief
As they fall free from the eye.
...

The prize jewels of any nation
Are the philosophers of the heart.
How they think is universal
For it’s God who makes them so smart.
...
