Tom Zart Poems

Where would I be without you dad
My hero of night and day
I'm so glad you love my mother
And think of us when you pray
...

Godliness brings contentment with deeds of love
A formula to joy, determined by our actions.
We must pursue life’s happiness through heeding God’s call.
Warning us of sin and its false attractions.
...

When we remain restless in our search for satisfaction
We try and we try, yet we never fulfill our need.
Enduring peace is found only in our love for Christ
Who teaches to be righteous, complete and free of greed.
...

As Christians we feel God’s Spirit within
As He promises to guide us the right way.
His forgiveness is not by who or what we are
But our devotion and willingness to pray.
...

It's not a priest that gives us our freedom of religion
And it's not a reporter that gives us our freedom of voice.
It's not any judge, lawyer, politician, or teacher
But the blood of a soldier that has sacrificed by choice.
...

Poets as a rule are high on adventure
Like wondering bards or prophets today.
Embracing hearts and minds with wisdom
Casting through verse their visions at play.
...

Misguided souls practice unworthy acts
As they struggle to fulfill selfish need.
Performing what they must without regret
Consumed by mistrust, fear and greed.
...

No rope or cable can hold so tight
What love can do with twine.
No kiss can taste so bittersweet
As the one which captures our mind.
...

RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships are the greatest predictors of happiness
Healthy ones tend to support our joy and appreciation.
...

DIVINE INTERVENTION

What would our world become
Without intervention from above?
