Royston Allen Poems

I spent my lifetime searching for You
walked down paths of joy and sadness too.
All this world offered and all I’d tried
just left me feeling so unsatisfied. 
...

For you, our dear Helen, life was so short
so full of tears and with great sadness wrought.
In tragic circumstances was your death
as there alone in the grave you laid bereft.
...

On Day zero we see nought but blackness and barrenness
for there was no universe, just bottomless emptiness.

Then darkness and light of the first night and day had begun
...

Young people are:

The future of our world
Flowers yet unfurled
...

The road was rough, the going tough
I knew not what to do.
Then Jesus came and spoke my name
and helped me work it through.
...

Help my unbelief, help me trust Your Word
for I believe that You can do it Lord.
You asked me to step out of the boat.
I know that You can keep me afloat.
...

I am only a worm, a wriggly worm
I crawl and I slide and squiggle and squirm
but I noshed the vine that gave Jonah shade
destroying the shelter that God had made.
...

His body had been wrapped and firmly bound
as it lay dead and lifeless in the ground.
The stone rolled over shutting out the light
and the door of death was sealed up so tight
...

When at Crete a gentle south wind began to blow
We weighed anchor deciding it was time to go
But the wind began to blow of hurricane force
A 'Northeaster' sprang up and blew us way off course
...
