The dove of peace
Flying on lordly wings
Delivered an olive
branch
Which delivered the
world

IS IT THE ANGER OF PETULANT GODS?
Is it the anger of petulant Gods?
In their Olympian
Penthouse
Exploding their
volcanic wrath
Down a molten hillside
Or an angry planet
From deep within
Trying to cleanse the
earth
Of it’s unworthy
guardians
THE ATHEISTS LAST WORDS
The atheist spent his whole life
Denying the existence
of a deity
Preached to all who
would listen
The atheist thoughts
of his reality
He even stated that
the universe
Was created quite
accidently
Even on his final day
on earth
He was content there
was no deity
But a moment before he
crashed
He cried out “oh God
help me”
A SONG TO SING IN HEAVEN
A song to sing in heaven
Where the holy angel’s
tread
So sang my heart in
joy
The word of God was
spread
CROSS OF THE LIVING GOD # 1
Cross of the living God
Cast your gentle
shadow
Keep us safe within
its lee
And I will always know
You will answer my
Prayer
Because you’re always
there
Gentle Jesus, Gentle
God

THE CHRISTENING
Nanny had unwrapped
The christening gown
Handed down through
The generations
Grandma hand-knitted
The booties
Laced them with
Pure white ribbon
The God parents
Presented a shawl
White as fallen snow
And we stood together
Beside the font
And welcomed him
Into the family of
Christ
THE NINE WORTHIES
The Nine Worthies
Figures of history?
Men of scripture?
Men steeped in myth or
legend?
Any or all might apply
But these figures
personified
The chivalric ideals
Of the medieval world.
Three of the nine were
pagans
Hector prince of Troy,
Slain by Achilles
Alexander the great
Conqueror of the
world,
Julius Caesar,
Founder of a dynasty
Three of the nine were
Jewish
Joshua, Apprentice of
Moses
And leader of the
Israelites
David, of the house of
David,
Second King of Israel
Judas Maccabeus,
leader
Of the Maccabean
revolt
Three of the nine were
Christian
King Arthur of
Camelot,
Fair and just
Charlemagne, the first
Holy Roman Emperor
Godfrey of Bouillon,
first ruler
Of the Kingdom of
Jerusalem
These nine worthies
Were considered
paragons
Of the ideals of
chivalry
