POETRY

(Click here for a non-framed version of this page)

Over the past decades I have written many hundreds of poems, some are good, many are forgettable, some of those which I believe to be the best (either because they achieve what I hoped to achieve when I wrote them or because I hope that they will be of value to others) have been placed here for you.  I do not pretend to be a great poet, I am simply a man who has lived some years and has written of many of his experiences in the form of poetry.  When you read these lines you are in a very real sense reading a very personal journal.  Many of the words on these pages have sprung from the realization that I have no one upon whom I can rely other than God and are therefore uttered as cries to Him for help, as praise to Him for His wonder,  and as my reflections of and upon the universe He has made for me to enjoy. These poems are for me a form of worship, it is my prayer that in reading them you will be encouraged to worship God as well and praise Him for the life He has given you, regardless of its pain or joy.
