POEMS FROM THE HEART

Nothing More How empty is all I possess If I were to own all the sky Still I would not be near as blessed As when my Savior just passes by How poor would all my riches be If in prayer, thee I could not find If my land stretched from sea to sea If all that glitters were all mine If all stars were given to me All the silver and gold my own My poor soul could still not go free If I could not kneel at Your throne I long only for your sweet love Oh my heart longs for nothing more I desire my gifts...

Beautiful City In The Sky With mortal eyes we can't see Him Yet with joy we can speak His name We can feel His love deep within Once we've met Him, we're not the same We walk by faith and not by sight We have His Holy divine word We love Him with all of our might His promises we have heard His presense is always with me My hand fits nicely in His hand Graciously He has set me free On His promises I can stand Face to face meeting now awaits Oh, just to look into those eyes Just take one step...

Today The Angels Smiled Adjoining skies across I see Horizon of my God The sun and moon and stars I see As down this road I trod Mountains, flowers, silvery streams The beauty of my God White clouds float on heavens sweet wings As I stand on this sod Fish swim the sea with peace so free Forgotten not by thee And so my soul, it soars to thee And there I too am free With arms as far as east from west You sweetly hold your child My heart content, you know what's best Today the angels smiled Kent...

The Final Tear Oh, may I always walk with thee Lord please hold to my hand Oh, walk the narrow road with me Help me to understand Blind my eyes to all that would hurt My voice speak just your words Till they lay me beneath the earth Till my song be unheard On my knees I'll constantly be For there is where You are My cry will be only to thee Till this life I depart And when I see You face to face You'll dry the final tear At your feet I'll thank You for grace Angels will stand and cheer Kent...

Sometimes It Is So Hard (rondeau redouble) Sometimes it is so hard, oh my how I know The enemy and I many times have sparred Many times my heart has been filled with sorrow Many times my plans have been greatly marred So sorrowful when our dreams he bombards And the mighty winds against us blow So sad when we must walk to that graveyard Sometimes it is so hard, oh my how I know We try to be everyone's gallant hero Tho deep inside our heart is scarred Our mind hears all the voices echo The enemy...

Gods Breath What a beautiful thing to feel on your face The soft touch of my Lord and my Saviors breath The beauty that is found in this unseen grace The endless boundries of His love have no depth Leaves on the trees dance and praise His Holy name His arms outstretched, no man can measure their width In His breath rain drops gently fall on my frame How cool and refreshing this gift from above How wonderful to feel His touch I proclaim So glad for sure that He passed my way with love He knew how...

No more Chains (sestina) I was a prisoner, wrapped in chains From my youth, that's the way it had been In my dark lonely prison, all alone I set Never thought freedom, would ever be mine But then one wonderful day, I was set free And now, the locks and chains are gone The days of my youth, were now far gone And I was so tired, of those heavy chains Oh, how I wanted so, to be happy and free When did I ever have peace, how long had it been Others had it, I just had to find mine My heart must...

The Beech Tree What is it about a beech tree That makes it so lovely to see Is it the way its branches go every which way With seemingly no uniformity No, although this is a beautiful trait I think it is much more than this Maybe it is the nuts that it bears With so much work For so little reward Yet it tastes so sweet No although I have tasted it so many times I believe it is much more than the meat Maybe it is the holes that it gets in its trunk So many squirrels have there found a home What a...

My mom would have been 102 today, gone but not forgotten Her Voice I remember her voice you see It sounded so sweet to me And when she used it to sing Oh, the joy it would bring Her words were always kind A sweeter voice you could never find I remember things she would say I'm thinking about her today Though that's been years ago It's still with me don't you know I can hear her from miles away Though she be where the angels play Her voice seems to float on the air Today I thought I felt her...

Jesus Went To Vietnam Jesus went to Vietnam A war hero was He I know that He went He went there with me On the wings of mama's prayers And many nights on her knees Jesus went to Vietnam He went there with me From the streets of Saigon To the jungles of Da Nang To the mountain in Chu Lai Where the bombs fell like rain On a place call Happy Valley Tho there was no happiness there But I do remember That my Jesus was there On the med-a-vac from Da Nang To Cam Ran Bay's hospital bed Jesus was flying...
