Denis Martindale Poems

The lioness with three cubs laid,
With morning pride as well,
Beside the stream that gently played
As night to day once fell...
...

When big cats pause in self-defence
And harken to each sound,
It's then they think of foes, not friends,
Nearby that lurk around...
...

When revelation comes to mind,
It's God's love that I see
And greater love no man can find
Throughout all history...
...

When revelation comes to mind,
It's God's love that I see
And greater love no man can find
Throughout all history...
...

I saw that duck just yesterday,
Today, he's back again,
Still quacking in that raucous way,
Since he did way back when...
...

She loiters near the table tops,
In search of her next feast,
For her addiction never stops,
It just can't be appeased...
...

Tiger and cubs felt quite composed,
Despite the frost and snow,
As if by perfect peace engrossed,
No urgent place to go...
...

Sometimes it takes an act of faith beyond reality,
Not merely courage to be brave to bear calamity...
Sometimes it takes a patient soul, a willingness to wait,
Before the Saviour holds control of destiny and fate...
...

Who is the Christian God will hear
And not just now and then?
Who is the Christian God calls near
Who often says, 'Amen! '?
...

It isn't just evangelists
Who quote Jesus each day,
The common Christian still insists
To share Him in some way...
...
