Salvation in Christ Alone
With happiness
I am replete
Thanks to Christ
Satan, He did defeatChrist died
At Calvary
He did it
To set man freeHe lived a sinless life
The Lamb of God
Sacrificed due to our sin
Him alone I applaudChrist rose from the dead
On the third day, Sunday, you see
He defeated death and sin
Proving His divinityOn the Cross
Christ bled for our sin
He endured God’s wrath
He was a propitiationOur sin
Was imputed to the Lord
We received His righteousness
I stand on God’s WordThank God
For Scripture alone
Our faith is predicated on it
It was Christ Who did atoneby Zachary Uram

Pure Spirit
I have mental issues
Of the mind
It is insanity
That I findMy mind was ravaged
I was in deep pain
No matter the time
My mental hurt didn’t waneI cried out
To Jesus in despair
Mental illness had ravaged me
And He was thereChrist was in the flesh
In my bedroom
He ordained me a pastor at last
And anointed me as a high priestThen Jesus disappeared
I felt so much peace in my mind
On my own I would be lost
He was so kindby Zachary Uram

The Joys of Christmas
Christmas is
A magical time of year
People are warm hearted
And full of cheerIn a lowly manger
Christ was born
On a cold
December mornGod’s love
Christ did bestow
As time passed by
He did growGinger bread men
And cookies too
For holiday food
There’s nothing I eschewMy big sister Vi and I
Took a sleigh ride
Pulled by horses
On each sideIn the first week
Of December
We buy our Christmas tree
Christ is why we rememberThe greatest gift we can receive
Is salvation in Christ alone
We are chosen by God
Because at Calvary Jesus did atoneI wish you a very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let there be peace on earth
And may no child have fearby Zachary Uram

A Thunderstorm in Spring
Storm clouds move in
Dark and ominous
My umbrella isn’t superfluousFrom my bedroom window
I watch the torrential rain
It helps to keep me saneAs the storm approached us
Lightning sizzles in the sky
Purple plasma could make a man dieThe winds
Blow fiercely you see
Shaking the tree branches vigorouslyThe air smells fresh
My senses are heightened
I feel so alive
I am not frightenedIt’s raining powerful now
Wind is blowing the rain horizontally
After ten minutes the storm is gone
I thank God for this storm totallyby Zachary Uram

The Insomnia Blues
I’ve been awake
For many an hour
The situation
Is rather dourMy legs are restless
I kicked them all night
It was very aggravating
I have a mental blightMy body is exhausted
But my mind
Won’t let me sleep
A solution I must findI took some melatonin
And had a cup of herbal tea
Sadly none of these
Worked for meChronic insomnia is brutal
It takes a great toll
Falling asleep soon
Is my goalI burn the midnight oil
I read Scripure and pray
Maybe in the future
Things will go my wayby Zachary Uram

Summertime
My big sister Vi
And little sister Tanya
And I
Stepped outside
On a glorious
Summer day
We were outside
Every day of summer
We left home around 9am
And returned home at noon
For lunch
Then we went back outside
Until dinner time
At 7pm
We ran all around
Our neighborhood
We lived on
Meadowbrook Blvd.
We always had
Lots of energy
I was hyperactive
Vi and I would collect
Cicada shells
From pine trees
We played games
Like Red Rover
And Hide ‘n Seek
We went exploring
The Big Yard was
Very special to us
The ice cream man
Pulled up
In his truck
We got snow cones
And licorice ropes
And bags
Of popcorn
We went swimming
In the Brentwood pool
On the hottest days
I also played
With my toys
Such as Chips
Star Wars
Voltron and He-Man
I will always cherish
These summer memories
Of my halcyon youth

Springtime
I went outside
On a beautiful Spring day
The tulips and tiger lilies
Were on full displayMy sister Vi and I
Ran in the rain
It made us
Totally insaneThe sunshine was
So nice
Much better than
Frosty iceWe all watched
The Easter movie
The Passion of The Christ
It showed biblical historyWe lay outside
On lawn chairs
Soaking up the sun
While our music blaresThe bees were out
Buzzing around
There was also
A white bunny I found
Spring is a time for rejuvenation
And the newness of life
We celebrate Christ’s resurrection
In Him there is peace and no strifeWe walked barefoot
In the lush green grass
I’d rather enjoy God’s creation
Than attend massby Zachary Uram

My Sublime Belly
My gut is huge
I can float in a delugeMy belly is massive
It’s why I wrote this missiveMy gut is gargantuan
It’s admired in SaipanMy belly shakes
Yummy food, it takesMy belly is out of sight
Slapping it gives me delightMy gut is a behemoth, you see
It is very fattyI love to smack my belly fast and slow
Why I do this, I don’t knowI smack it day and night
I use all my mightI smack it up and down
It brings me renownby Zachary Uram
