Best Send Down Poems


Martyr For the Unorthodox Word

If I had over 10,000 dreams
You'd be the only thing my mind could see
Judgment couldn't be real
Succumbing to the fear of this cold life
Find a way to break through
The self-destruction of wordly delusions
Don't tell me I've lived so long in a lovely illusion 
 
Break me down until we find a Nirvanic state 
Then bring me a savior from transgressions
An atoning sacrifice 
Send down to me a messenger for me to submit to
Bring me the truth to break through The delusion
Bring me the messenger to explain it all 
And let me leave behind
 
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
 Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul
Martyr for the Unorthodox word
 
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
 Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul

Premium Member Divine Magnetism

 Oh God, in your benevolent presence I find,
A tranquil haven for my troubled mind. 
Even when I stray far from your view,
I feel a divine magnetism pulling me to you.

At times I feel how thankless I am
And wonder if not my piety, a mere sham?
My heart rises up to heaven
Whenever I am in severe pain
But sadly, I forget you,
As soon as I am through.

Sooner when I overcome my strife, 
You bless me with a fresh lease of life
You send down beams of light,
Into my dark and dreary night.
You glue up the shards,
When I am broken and at odds.
You lovingly pat me on my head
And take away my dread.

You put a smile on my face,
Even on losing my race.
Each time when I cry,
My tears you gently dry.
When I fall down under the weight,
You come to me and gently lift

When I drift without direction,
You show me the way with affection.
Your light never fails to guide.
With you, how safe I feel inside.
You supply me with all I need.
You are my life’s greatest comfort, indeed.

Give me grace ever to stay within your magnetic field
To seek your whim and to temptations, never yield

Beyond the Known

Let the sun send down it's rays
Let clouds form patterns overhead
Now we can see the void
We are entitled to view it
It is our birthright, our future
Beyond the sky
Lie countless stars and darkness
Let the rotation of the moon
Continue
for we have walked on that orb
As we shall walk on other orbs
Is someone out there in the darkness?
Someone we should know about?
There are things too strange and great
For our understanding to fathom
Eyes which have gazed upward
Now close
Off to a dream - filled sleep 
The universe above - we can take comfort 
In knowing we are only a small part
of creation

Ava Elise

Ava Elise

She came to us in the middle of the night,
I noticed the moonless sky had turned very bright.
Don’t ask why or ask me to explain,
I only know before, there was darkness and rain.

She seemed so radiant as I held her that day,
Looking at her tiny face, I silently began to pray.
“Lord, bless this little baby I hold in my hands,
Fill her life with love, according to your plans.”

“Father, bless her parents as they guide her through life,
Give them the wisdom to take away all her strife.
Lord, we remember when you were away in a manger,
We know you were surrounded with encompassing danger.”

“I ask the father to guide her on a similar trip,
Gird her up tight, Lord; please don’t allow her to slip.
For her Mom and Dad I also ask for your love,
Send down tons of it, from your mansion up above.”

I wrote this poem to honor the birth of my granddaughter, she is now 4 years old and is smarter than I am.  How do I know?  She recently told me so.  I love her dearly.

Butterfly Spirits

When you walk outside into the open air
When you look around at all the beauty everywhere
Think of butterflies fluttering all around
Filling the atmosphere from the sky to the ground
When you feel the wind across your face
Remember my love is all over the place
When you see one lone butterfly fluttering by with such beauty and grace
Think of me and the last time you saw a smile on my face
Remember the joy we shared in our lifetime together
The bond we shared was the most precious treasure
You are blessed with memories of our years on earth
Just as God blessed me on the day of your birth
I have moved on to a glorious place
But daily I am still blessed with your loving face
When you see a butterfly, think of me
That is my spirit flying high and free
I watch over you my dear loved ones, each day and night
I am so proud of your choices to live your life right
My love for all of you will continue to flow
I miss throwing my arms around you more than you know
I am flying with Angels in the Heaven’s above
We watch over you always and send down our love
Look for the butterflies with colors so bright
For they host the spirits of loved ones now out of sight
You must keep your chin up and take care of yourself
But remember God sends His Angels to sometimes help
When you least expect it, at a time of great need
That’s when an Angel appears to do a good deed
Keep your eyes open and be prepared
Great blessings will be upon you when you’re least aware
Watch for the butterflies as they flutter around
They will soon appear in your life when they are less likely to be found
My heart is with you as I watch from afar
Angels walk with you wherever you are
Trust in my word and know that many blessings are upon you
For God has sent Angels who will help you through 
Hold memories close and cherish those in your life with love
Trust in my word and in the Lord above

Stormy Night

wind swirls all about
lighting flashes thunder crashes  
tis' such a stormy night
I can almost touch the light
as I take flight to my feet
I wonder why I left my seat

then comes the calm of the storm
wind dies, the souls cry and the earth shakes in it's wake

why did he let the storm come
was it just to shake us up maybe he sick of us all
he is the seeker of truth and light
so why must he send down rain with all his might

                   My patience with you is at an all - time low.
                            Pack your bags and hit the road.
                           Take your iceberg and go, go, go.

                            Come on, sun, turn up the heat.
                           I'm so sick of this cold and sleet.
                         Hey, Mr. Sun, Send down your rays.
                           I'm fed up with gloom and haze.

                        Come on, spring, it's time to shine.
                 The robins are here; there are plenty of signs.
                          Now, Mr. Winter, hit the bricks.

Premium Member Daughter

I called to a Dove from above,
Asking God to send down his love.

I know not how to express what I feel,
I just want my baby to heal.

When you were born I took your hand,
It grasped mine and I became your fan.

You sat in my lap and we watch Punky Brewster
And even a dumb dog getting beat up by a Rooster.

There was fun and laughter through the years,
And sometimes there were tears.

I remember the story about the three fishes,
I still hurt because you did not get your wishes.

If I could take your troubles away,
I would do it this very day.

Just remember when you are blue,
I am your Dad and I love you.

O Lord I Pray To You

O Lord I Pray To You

O Lord hasten the hour! Send down from Heaven,
Send the Spirit of Power, Of Health, of Love,
Of Filial Fear, Of Knowledge of Grace,
Of Wisdom of prayer, Of of praise;

The Spirit of Faith, Of Faith in of Your Blood,
Which saves us from evil , brings us to You,
Removes the huge mountain Of dwelling sin,
You open the fountain That washes us clean.

Come, Children, to our gospel feast,
Let every child of God be Jesus's guest;
There should not be even one left behind,
As God has bidden all His children come..

Sent by the Lord, on you He calls,
As this invitation is to ALL His children:
Come, all the world; come all children, 
All things in Christ are ready now.

Come, all children, who are oppressed,
All the restless wanderers come to Christ,
The Poor, the Maimed, Halt, and Blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome you will find.

Come, and join the gospels and the Feast;
Be saved from sin; in Jesus you shall rest;
Oh come bask in the goodness of your God,
Shear in the communion of our Lord Jesus!

You vagrant children, on you He calls;
(Oh that His voice could reach you all!)
Yes children may all now be justified,
His children live, as Christ died for us all.

The message is from God to His children,
You all should come to Christ, and live;
Oh let His love in your hearts for ever,
As LIFE in Live In Faith Ever in Christ!

Bird Man : a Christmas Story Part Two

cont...

His creatures failed to listen to His guidelines to grow
and got lost in their own wills. The rest we know.
So the Maker of his creatures animal and Human, the Generator Himself  Creator of billions of stars and galaxies
black holes, planets, moons, suns, 
time, space and all material, of everything visible and invisible …
decided in Pure Love to send down His Son, His Mirror 
to become one of His Creatures. He, the Alpha and Omega,
The Beginning and the End, the second Person of the Blessed Trinity,
God Himself…. Came down to be one of His creatures… His little ones.
He came down and became one of us to lead us, to save us, show us the Way. Christ.

There was a man who did not and would not believe,
who could blame him in a world set to deceive.
One wintry freezing blustery Sunday after his family went to church,
he was watching the birds outside his picture window.
They were freezing to death he could see,
no place to hide and warm themselves in the bare trees.
His bird feeders had toppled in the snow
and his little friends had no where to go.
He quickly went to his entrance door and opened it wide
spread seed and suet in a trail into his house.
“Come inside my little friends he cried!”
I won’t hurt you and you will be safe here with me.
but they didn’t believe him…. Who could blame them
he thought in a world set to deceive….

Then in his anguish for his little friends he thought,
if only I could just for a day become one of them
to fly out there, then they would believe me! 
then they would follow me into my house…where it’s warm.
and they would be saved! Poor little ones!

Then he understood…. 
The next Sunday He filled his birdfeeders
and went to the Christian church with his family.
to give thanks to the Almighty Love. 
It was CHRISTMAS day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!

Too Late

As the sky turns from blue to grayish black
Lightning and thunder begin to attack
The clouds send down a never ending rain
People begin to run, not looking back

But the ones that did became struck with fear
A cylindrical force spinning so near
Leaving a path of total destruction
And that is when everything became clear

It's the wrath of a massive tornado
So violent there is no where to go
Homes demolished in the blink of an eye
Their worst nightmare, an unbeatable foe

They had lost the chance to evacuate
Now all they could do was sit back and wait
And watch natures monster take everything 
Because the warning siren came too late!

Shocking Bushfires

Every man, woman and child really admires 
\The men and women fighting the bushfires 
Some deliberately lit, the worst of all sins 
The fires roar fiercely in the strong winds 
Hundreds of square miles have burnt to the ground 
Poor people watching their houses burning down 
Just to see it on television is a terrible shock 
Gone are farms, houses, buildings and stock 
Feel sorry for these people, nothing at all left 
Over sixty poor buggers have burnt to death
For weeks us Aussies have suffered dreadful weather 
Stinkin' bushfires will bring people closer together 
Loosing everything you own must be incredibly rough 
The country people will survive, they are terribly tough 
Why would anyone want to cause so much pain? 
Bastards who lit these fires have no bloody brains 
Bushfires are terrible, what an awful way to die 
Not much we can do really, but to wonder why 
Burnt out cars with poor buggers stuck inside 
Couldn't beat the flames, had nowhere to hide 
Everyone will be praying, of that there`s no doubt 
Hopefully soon, all them damn fires will be out 
As I write this, even worse than I`d feared 
Whole Victorian towns have simply disappeared 
With the winds howling the fires move faster 
How can the lord let this happen, a natural disaster? 
Mother Nature has dealt out one hell of a hand 
Fires in two states and floods in Queensland 
Only thing I can offer, not much that is true 
To all you poor buggers, my thoughts are with you 
I can`t remember anything worse in all my years 
Nobody will look, without shedding some tears 
Not much we can do to help ease the pain 
Guess I`ll pray to God, send down some rain 
I think tonight, everyone will be saying their prayers 
Hoping the fires are out, that none of them flares

An Angels Cry

( AN ANGELS CRY )

There is always a calmness before the storm
The clouds are all darkened as they form
Thundering skies echo across the land
Untold signs are washed from the sand
It becomes all quiet and not a sound is heard
You can listen for voices but you hear not a word
Then like some magical wonder from above
The angels begin to cry and send down their love

Their tears are falling for you and for me
To touch us all and to set us all free
They send down their love with such beauty and grace
I lift up my head and let the tears touch my face
Washing our souls from the hurt that we feel
Washing our souls from the pain that is real
And when they have finished their crying all done
Those clouded skies depart to bring out the sun

And if you watch closely and look way up high
You will see a rainbow of colors appear in the sky
Colors of joy that are warm and not cold
God's given promise for us to hold

A Rain-Drought

There is light but darkness
It is cold but hot
Send down the rain
Because, it is wet but dusty. 

It is sunrise but sunsets
It is winter but summer
Send down the rain
Because, it is damp but dry. 

Clouds overshadow the sun
Darkness overwhelms the moon
Send down the rain
Because, it is low tide. 

There is lamentation
People are wailing and weeping
Send down the rain
Because, no stone on another.  

They sob but who condole 
Men yell but who console
Send down the rain
Because, it is time to re-erect.
