Poems

Why do we of this strange way
                    Try to express what we would say
                    From whence comes the strange bend
                      That by this way a message send

                          Perhaps because somewhere lack
                       In spoken word the power and knack
                          Of saying things we really want
                         Or may be it's because we don't

                              But what ever is the cause
                             We feel compelled in life to pause
                           And by this means communicate
                              Still there are those who wait

                             If in this page of poems here
                            You cannot find a note of cheer
                          Or serious thought about our time
                        Then you should not read another line

                          For there is here in much detail 
                      The way to win as often we fail
                        The power of God,The death of sin
                        And all the way your heart to win
              
                           For these I have written just for you
                            And hope you find a note so true
                            That I have sought by stroke of pen
                              To many hearts a word to send,,,,
