Wow! I am the Star featured

 in Mike's first books!

Here's one of my poems.

One day a man went out

for a long horse ride.
He was on his horse

 named Pride,
He was out about

an hour are so..
He was riding along

very slow.
All of a sudden

the horse stood still.
He heard a voice say

"Bill."
Bill was this mans name

of course.
The voice was coming

from the horse.
He couldn't believe

what he was hearing,
He got off of the horse

and lead him to a clearing.
He gathered himself

and said,

"What did you say?"
Pride said "Bill 

I don't like just hay"
Bill's eyes were as big

as could be.
He said to himself ,

this can't be happening

Not to me.
Pride went on to say,

"you have gained

 some pounds,
your belly is getting

very round.."
By this time Bill knew

he wasn't having

a dream.
He lead his horse

to a near by stream.
Then Pride said

"Thank you!

 for letting me drink,
and by the way Bill

you always stink".
Bill didn't know

what to do

at this point in time.
The horse said,

"Bill you are good

and so very kind,
And a better owner

would be hard to find."
Bill said

“thank you for saying that”.
as he put on his hat.
Pride said,

"I don't want to be

unkind.
but I just don't like hay

all the time.
Bill gave Pride a big smile,
And said he would give

him  some oats too,

once in a while.
Pride said,

"A bath would be good

 for you, and don't forget

between your toes too."
He said “yes!

 I will take one now.”
Giving Pride a big smile.
When his bath was over

and he was dry.
He got back on Pride

and finished his ride.

 Pride never said a word

 after that day.
Bill just thinks he said

all he had to say.
Now Bill takes a bath

everyday.
And puts oats out

for Pride  with his hay.
Bill has since lost

 fifty pounds,

 by the way.

 

Now go buy my book!

See Ya!

There was a cross

made of timber

That held a man

who was so tender

The life was draining

out of him fast

And the rain

came in at last

The sky became

very dark

As the in of a spear

found its mark

His side was struck

by the blow

Then the blood poured

in a steady flow

He cried out

to his Father

who was looking down

While blood entered

his eyes coming from

the thorn crown.

This cross that He

once held its weight,

was holding Him

as He met His fate.

 

 

Three days

after Jesus died.
He rose up to

His father's side
Yes he died

on the cross

He carried that day
For all of our sins

To be washed away.

 

It was Easter day

when He rose above.
Can you imagine

the power

of His love?

 

Up in heaven Jesus walks

alone thinking

of his days on earth.
He remembers far

back as His birth.
He thinks of the three

Wise men who

traveled so far
And how they were guided

by a very bright star.
He thinks back

to the miracles

he performed as

He walked the land.
He thinks of the day

he died 

for the sins of man.
He reflects back

to the hours

He spent

on the cross of wood.
He thinks of

the amount of pain 

He endured that

no other man could.
He remembers the weight

of the cross He carried

through the streets
Then He looks down

at the holes

in His hands and feet.
He thinks of the ones

who knelt and prayed 

for Him.
Then He says to Himself,

"If I had to……

I would do it all again."
Then He walks back

with pride
To sit by His Fathers

right hand side.

This poetry book I found to be enlightening in both the content and the emotion I felt as I read each poem.. Each poem is well written with many good subjects and morals within the verse. The Author took me from very emotional poetry to a fantasy land to a Christmas adventure with many animals and characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it from cover to cover and I highly reccommend it for the spiritual value and subject material he has written of. There are lovely black and white photos that enhance his words also.. This book will be another one to add to my poetry collection. It is a pleasure for all ages also.
