How blessed are those that choose to write,
Expressing thoughts sublime,
As if to seek the greatest height,
Perchance then free2rhyme...

It doesn't matter what you are,
Lion, tiger or bear,
Or small child wishing on a star,
While at the moon you stare...
...
Behold the untamed meerkats there
Now side-by-side on guard,
As if the whole wide world to dare,
As if all else were barred...
...
There's always one! Yes, that's so true!
That tiger cub's at fault...
There's always one that must outdo
And won't come to a halt!
...
When zebras migrate plain to plain
They brave the hunters, too,
These travellers have much to gain
As each one sees it through...
...
The elephants were homeward bound
And walked as in a dream,
As if their peace were newly-found,
Content to be a team...

There's precious power, borne of prayer, beyond Man's common sense,
And this great power proves quite rare to those who aren't God's friends.
Our faith transcends Man's time and space, ascending far beyond,
God's Throne of Grace, Amazing Grace, for there, we truly bond.

Sometimes we need updating, too, it's then the gurus guide,
Advising us in what to do and what we should decide.
So let's give thanks, for such as these, so we continue still,
...
While here on Earth, the Saviour cared, compassion was His aim,
His was the journey God prepared, God's glory to proclaim.
Baptised in water, yes, indeed, and by God's Spirit, too,
With miracles now guaranteed, back then and now for you.

When I start writing poetry, I can recite alone,
Beyond the text on lines I see, I can detect the tone.
Yet there are times I contemplate, is there another way,
To hear the words, then meditate, on what I want to say?
