Tom Zart Poems

Sometimes we fear from our own circumstances
As we focus on that which is wrong too long.
The more we overcome life's blame and shame
The more we're aware what to heed or belong.
...

Some of us are as God intended
Though many become far worse.
Our characters are not of marble
So the Devil may work his curse.
...

Those who wish to be President
Must practice what they teach.
For their people need inspiring
To believe what they preach.
...

With our fingers weary and worn
And our eyelids heavy and red
We feel we've earned God's blessings
As we lay down our sleepy head.
...

No man has ever ruled the Earth
It's always Earth that has ruled man.
Without it's harvest and the hunt
All life would soon sift through the sand.
...

Down on our knees we thank God for life
Down on our knees both husband and wife.
Down on our knees we seek all we need
Down on our knees we rise above greed.
...

Those who wish to advise others
Should live by what they preach
For their pupils need inspiring
To listen to what they teach.
...

I was always wrong for far too long
That's why now I sing this song.
Your need for me I can never deserve
If you can forgive I'll treasure and serve.
...

While earthly trials test our faith and resolve
Remember they're never everlasting.
Caught in the crossfire for the soul of man
As the weapons of hate do their casting.
...

Great deeds are achieved by faith, strength and honor
Never by wickedness, falsehoods or a lie.
Happiness depends on prayer, love, trust and dedication
As we rejoice God's will and comply.
...
