Best Good News Poems
Cesarean birth
a newborn hugs his mom's face -
his cheek pressed to hers. . .
pulled away from her, he screams
some bonds cannot be broken
The sun rose this morning
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
Things are going our way
Frost and drought
Did not destroy crops
There’s food for the world – Lick your chops
A truce finally came in the Mideast
Soldiers are coming home
No more to war will they roam
Cures have been found for Ebola and cancer
All who were ill are now well
We’ll never again hear the death knell
Washington D.C. is rejoicing
A new president won election
The economy is headed in a better direction
All who want jobs are now working
Teachers, nurses, street cleaners too
Accolades abound for this major breakthrough
Harmony prevails throughout the world
All religions and cultures have united as one
No one need carry a gun
Environmental protection efforts are working
Let’s rejoice with a sip of wine
Prayers have been answered by a Creator divine

...She is a ten year old girl.
Her mother?...
...A fine example
for her daughter.
...He is a father a husband.
He was a soldier...
...sent in harms way.
They are a family proud....
...What happened
is everyone's nightmare....
...This brave man
was badly wounded...
while defending his country....
...He survived,
the worse...
a head injury.
Did he give up...
...lie in a bed,
expect to be spoon fed?
No one would of blamed him...
...certainly not me.
He did not give up!
...The heavy fog that now
lays inside his brain...
...is just another battle.
He wins....
...Was he the hero?
Yes most definitely.
Ah but his daughter,
...ten years of wisdom
says this...
"When my daddy walks
he uses my shoulders."
...Her father,
the soldier...head shaven
walks using his daughter young...
...in front of him, to walk
to where he needs to go.
Ah but his daughter...
...ten years of wisdom
says this...
"I love my daddy
he is my hero!"
I see more than
one hero, that young girl
just oozing with love,
that little girl is my hero!
Still in my heart
I hear
"i love my daddy
he is my hero!"
I just want to hug her.
At ten years young
she is a soldiers rock!

Good News
Every day I get up and pray,
Lord... please...
some good news for a change.
Something worth saying to my family,
to my friends,
something worth sharing,
that is lovely.
The TV talks empty words,
concerning people in high power,
that bask in the hour,
of their fame,
at the cost of their soul...
It is a great game.
The truth is full proof,
and written in the word,
that can not be stirred,
by hysteria.
The real Good news is you, Lord King.
That is my news.
That is the information I place great faith in.
It is the tipping point,
between...
their evil and their efforts,
against what is and what will be.
They will lose and they know it.
It makes them ever more dangerous.
The days are numbered,
and counting slowly down,
to the point,
the riders will be seen
by all.
No one will be able to look away.
Yet, for today...
Please...
Lord... Please,
we long for your ease,
to save us from the lies
of the spies
of evil.
Make good news known to all,
Have them heard the gospel;
Evangelize them seventh of May,
Convert them through the Father's will.
Aim to spread the good news,
Even though men are busy;
Let them fully understand,
Let them listen to the
Almighty.
Duty to snatch men from fire
Is divine to faithfully use;
Zealously fulfill the fervor
On spreading the good
News.
Dead
Buried
Rose again...
So triumphant
Forever reigning...
God incarnate was babe
Serving well as the Saviour
Offered self, perfect sacrifice...
Granting mankind everlasting life*
Vanquishing death by His love I now share.
*John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

With all the bad- I got good news,
for five months I have had the blues;
all my thoughts tangled up with muse,
to despair I said- I refuse;
just worked on hobbies to amuse.
My mind went to awful places,
I prayed to God for his grace's;
friends gave me blooms and embraces,
I wept at roses in vases.
Waiting was endless and scary,
I became quite solitary;
my home a safe sanctuary.
I did a lot of soul searching;
there was a lot of soul aching.
then the phone call came - no cancer
I am thinking about tattoos,
of butterfly wings and faces;
visited the cemetery,
told my mom the good news shaking;
whispering- mom, got the answer.

OCTOBER 28 GOOD NEWS IN HISTORY!
I picked me a date.
I chose any date.
Reason is that any day is a good news day.
I created my timeline to illustrate.
I invested wisdom within the knowledge gave.
This should make someone smile and shout hoop hoop hooray.
Therefore, here’s some good news today.
A positive maximum is taken on October 28, 1962.
Cuban missile crisis ended through diplomatic pressure.
The President of the U.S.A., which was JFK, demanded dismantling of U.S.S.R nuclear weapons.
Looking further into the pass views a liberated stance.
On October 28, 1886, The Statue of Liberty was given to U.S.A. as a gift from France.
The Good News Papers have arrived.
We want to embrace positivity into our lives.
We tired of writing about criminal minds.
Therefore, we took a brief trip back in time.

Penned on October 28, 2014!
His Doc stated "You got a problem my friend",
when his examination was through!
"But, there again, the news isn't all bad!
We're naming this disease, after you"!
The banker said "pack your things"
"Ain't nothing holding you here"
"Just rent a place till you find"
"Your cozy cabin on the plains"
The Good News of Jesus Christ!
What kind of news do you live by today?
Is it based on God's word?
Or what others say?
Jesus died, then arose from
the grave three days later.
He’s the Son of God...
There are none greater!
He can break the bondages
and set the captive free!
Your sins for his life,
were purchased on Calvary!
The good news of Jesus Christ is being
preached to every nation!
There’s no other name where
one can find salvation
His blood cleanses and washes
away sin's dark stain.
There's healing and power
in his mighty name!
Let all the people shout;
"Jesus is the only way!"
And listen to the words
our savior has to say.
Whosoever will... Let him come
to Jesus now.
Bring to him your every
burden and humbly bow...
Allow him to fill your life with his love...
ever so sweet.
He will bless your life from
your head to your feet!
This gospel is the GOOD NEWS
that only Jesus can bring.
For he is our LORD, RIGHTEOUSNESS
and EVERYTHING !

God’s Faithfulness
Faithfulness is everything to God
He promises those that are faithful to Him
And His laws—eternal life and happiness
When God commanded Hosea to marry a prostitute,
He was teaching Hosea the process of restoration
Hosea was to be committed to this woman
Despite her many wrongs and sinful practices
God’s ultimate faithfulness is about fortitude and commitment
And through repentance—restoration
Acknowledging our sins, and enduring others' sins
For God promises to rescue those who repent
To possess God’s faith we must practice faith
Bearing each others' burdens as Hosea endured his wife’s
For all of our fortitude is for a purpose
To serve each other forever
In our eternal lives in the Kingdom of God
*inspired by Steve Orchard*
The Good News
For centuries and more,
Many have turned to leaders of this world
Instead of relying on God
In these days of troubles, warfare and suffering
God wants us to envision a government run by him
Human-led governments will transform into a righteous régime
Those who have inspired rebellion against God
Will die away, disposed from the light
Not only human leaders will witness the uprightness
Satan and his demons in awe will be bound
Giving Christ time to produce good and peace
To those who consistently followed His way of life
God is working out his purpose
And many of us will not like it or see His works
And as false prophets amaze the public,
God will ultimately heal the public
One day most everyone will be willing to listen
And the world will be restored to a fruitful condition
Where good news of peace and comfort
Will merely be a reality
*inspired by John Anderson*
Good News—Basketball Season May Be Cancelled
By Elton Camp
Of outrageously overpaid, whiny jocks I don’t care
For fifty years I haven’t watched a game anywhere
When in college, some of our team’s players I knew
Mention a present basketball star & I respond, “Who?”
I don’t know the details of what the big fuss is about
But that it’s about big time money I’ve got no doubt
Professional sports is filled with extravagant greed
Really, how much can players and owners need?
With millions working hard for just minimum wage
Obscene millions spent on sports puts me into a rage
So let them cut their season short of not do it at all
I don’t care if I never see another game of basketball
In fact, here’s what I think it’d be best if they will do
Get in a fight and close down football & baseball too
My best guess is that this won’t ever take place
But I’m keeping my fingers crossed just in case
The Good news.
The good news to a child is you are getting BIG!
The Good News to a Christian is Jesus Christ.
The Good News to all has the Love of God.
Today, when I'm in search of news, seems no honest place to choose
No matter where my surfing lands, my wits are placed in biased hands
Facts and lies chewed in a blender, served up smooth for their agenda
Left or right, it makes no matter, what's dispensed is poisoned chatter
Truth that's twisted, then opined, meant to sway the sheepish mind
Oblique perspectives rife with flaws, varnished clean by righteous cause
Intent to impart the forthright soul, with their false brand of vitriol
They all cede news is "compromised", but entirely by the OTHER guys
So where can I seek news for me - outspoken and propaganda-free?
That's the sad, disheartening twist - trustworthy news does NOT exist
Thus, my New Year's pledge will be to waste that wasted time on ME
Consider last year's news a curse, and pray it won't get any worse
You see, with all that garbage hurled, WATCHING it won't change the world
But trading time spent on the news for kind pursuits and daily truths,
Might turn that hatefulness to mirth, (in my little corner of the Earth)
For bringing worldly changes nearer, starts with that guy in the mirror
So my resolution's to disabuse, and not waste '18 ... on the "news".
