Best Mercies Poems

If I believed, I wouldn’t pray 

to thank god for the light of day

less likely still is that I might

thank him for the dark at night.

I'd ask if life could please be more 

than constant work and bills galore

and amongst examples in the O.E.D.

Behold, the dawn comes with thy mercies ever renewed!
Bathed in the light of hope thy love O Lord shineth through!
Thy faithfulness endureth without end; on thee alone shall I depend.
Tho' I have dwelt in the house of mourning and sorrow hath  
walked with me...

Little kids, needles, scary places
Doctors, nurses, with smiling faces
Strange bed, strange sound
Spooky environs all around

Pokes and prods, pink flowered gown
Tender mercies, gentle touch
Thank goodness mom is stickin’ round
Else this scary place would be waaay too much!

Toy placed in tiny hand
Gatorade given to drink
Young minds come...

TENDER MERCIES

Tender mercies on us shower
From The Supreme ’s sacred tower
Hungry get a sumptuous meal
Angry get a soothing heal
Barren blessed with lovely child
Lost absolved from scary wild
True confession granted pardon
Buds fresh bloom in wilted garden
Homeless get a safe shelter
A fireplace in chilling winter
Drowning rescued in...

Where are you when i need you Lord.. Rama
He intones the creator in a strange tongue
Rama karama ye na shaka yo... Rama

He offers supplication in a strange tongue
Actually its as if the words are coming...

Pour me out O’ Lord Mercies of blessings, blessings;
Rain down showers of love and life
May I be profitable and beautiful for the glory?
For the honor of our wonderful glorious God

Pour me out O’ Lord Mercies of blessings, blessings
Pour me out O’ Lord Mercies of blessings,...

 Justice is not a individual thing;
It's compared to opinionated beings;
My truth, your truth may not be disciples;
run away child run on wild;
Captured by the streets you've fallen onto;
Blacken eyes tormented scared now bruised;
True justice from God and Jesus;
Allow no man to judge you;
For man...

Thanks indeed great God for small mercies,
Chancy if man has all his wishes.
With just half, he’s doubled
His storehouse that troubled!
What else if wishes are wild horses?

Thinking of tonight
Finessing the moon 
I hear your heart beating in 
My every thought.
All tender mercies HOT and 

Misty mercury thoughts
Summer's magic 
You know as much as I
July hearts never lie
They teach us LESSONS

Night and night.
We love and true we do
Silky at the moon and...

AntiPoem 36
“Silent Mercies”

(Poet’s Instruction: Softly play in the background Mario Lanza singing
“Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen” from Puccini’s La Boheme, while reading this AntiPoem)


A

Look over there.
See the stunned grandmother knitting,
Not speaking a word neither, nor listening, 
Pretending she’s okay when she isn’t.
Notice the moribund listing...

God is indeed a God of abundant mercy
seeking to pour it on the sons of men
this mercy is kind humble and forgiving
something beyond description of earthly pen

This grace was displayed ultimately
by Jesus God’s only begotten son
when He paid the price of man’s sin
man’s salvation proved...

With my tender mercies 
I hold you close to me 
For nothing can come between 
What God has put together 
Today I combine my passion 
And humility to do what is right 
For your love I carry with me 
And your warmth I crave 
As...

One by one from Gods hand of love

Tender mercies are so divine

Filling our hearts, souls and our minds...

I am the essence of My Makers glory, now!

The humbled child, of His wonderous hands....

All that I am, good, is a reflection of His predestined desires

Born in His image, anew, from a once, but mere feeble man

Fragile within all of his ways, made, to fall...

I’m out here in the wilderness.
I’m baffled, Lord, and in distress.
My heart is downcast, troubled, gray:
O Lord, be merciful today.

At times like these, I’m far from you
That’s how I feel, though it’s not true.
I feel far off and gone astray:
O Lord, be merciful today.

I cannot...
