A Poem for St. Patrick’s Day

The shamrock
Green and proud
Symbolizing
Irish people
Three leaf clovers
Patrick used
To teach pagans
The Trinity
Kiss
The Blarney stone
This emerald isle
A people who
Resisted tyranny
Bruised and beaten
But not conquered
The Irish monks
Preserved
The Gospel
And Scripture
During
The Dark Ages
We owe them
Much
I take pride
In being Irish
May she forever
Follow Christby Zachary Uram

Whales

Silent travelers
Immense in size
Ocean dwellersDenizens of the deep
Once hunted cruelly
They did weepUndecipherable communication
Sound waves carry thoughts
Utilizing amplificationCircling the planet
Social creatures
What secrets they transmitby Zachary Uram

Christ Heals

Eyes are sore
Pain I abhorYearn to be
Totally pain freeThoughts are dour
Disposition is sourWon’t despair
Because Christ is thereHe heals my every need
At Calvary He did bleedEvery pain is gone
As Christ’s light shoneTruly happy all day
My pain went awayby Zachary Uram

My Day

I laid in bed
Like a beached whale
This is my
Sad taleI am lethargic
With no energy
It is a condition
Full of pityI feel fatigued
And depressed
This situation
Makes me distressedI want to run
And play
But it won’t
Happen todayI flip
And flop around
Where is my
Energy to be foundI will pray
Tomorrow is better
Meanwhile I’ll
Check the weatherby Zachary Uram

Rocky Mountain Life

The rugged mountains
I now go
Will cultivate the land
With plow and hoeA quaint log cabin
I’ll erect
Mountain life is hard
Not what I did expectI’ll trap and hunt
And fish
All the food I get
Will be delishWhen the snow comes
I will be prepared
I’ll sit by the fireplace
And won’t be scaredI’ll read many books
To pass the time
Mountain life
Is sure sublimeby Zachary Uram

Injury
My neck
Is in pain
My cries make
A mournful refrainI slept
On it wrong
Now I sing
A sad songI have faith
Jesus will touch me
Then I’ll be healed
Free of miseryby Zachary Uram

My ailments
Are muchI know
My God can heal
I will pray
Until it is realby Zachary Uram

Our Only Hope

Do not let
A soul pass by
Lest their soul
Should dieShare the gospel
To young and old
They won’t know it
Unless they are toldChrist the spotless Lamb
Was our sacrifice
He paid for all our sins
We gained ParadiseGod’s sovereign grace
Is the sole remedy
It alone can cleanse us
From our total depravityWe were born in sin
From Adam our federal head
We wish to do good
But we do evil insteadOnce the Holy Spirit
Quickens a man’s dead heart
He is born again
And gets a fresh startMan is regenerated
And given the twin gifts
Of repentance and faith
The gospel upliftsSo share the Good News
With friend and foe
Watch God move
And see His Kingdom growby Zachary Uram

Insomnia

I lay awake
I want to rest
A deep sleep
Would be bestTo slumber
Like a log
I’d be as happy
As a hogI desperately
Want to dream
I get so mad
I could screamTossing and turning
All night long
There is something
Seriously wrongI will pray for
Sweet tranquility
When I’ll snore
And repose peacefullyby Zachary Uram

Vi and I
Are as poor
As church miceThis situation
Is quite worrisome
And not niceWe must budget
Our money
Quite carefullyCoupons are
A must
We accept charityOur appetites
Are huge, but we must
Have portion controlWe must lose weight
No food after dinner
Must be our ruleOur bellies are
Reducing in size
They will soon shrinkWe shall fast
And become more slim
It’s harder than you thinkby Zachary Uram
