  The Prayer Garden By Bernard Demaere   Like a flower, Is each prayer! He takes them one by one, In His Garden.   He cares for them, He sprinkles, One at a time, every day, ‘Till fully grown.   Some are picked now, Some will be for later, But one glorious day, I know, I will see my gardener.   And those flowers, the same, He will have gathered, Then fragrance and beauty, Will send a perfume unto, Eternity.      

  Thanks to the United Trinity By Bernard Demaere   Come now, O’ Lord! Come! O’ Sweet Savior! On my knees, I bow, Praises be to Jesus, To our Father who loved us, Holy Spirit, fill us now!   Thank you! O’ Son of God, For dying on the Cross, There was only one Way, And you chose it that day! To give yourself as a sacrifice, So many have denied.   Thank you, Heavenly Father! And praises to your Glory forever, Blessed are you, on your Throne, reigning, Flow from it, Rivers to the Living, Holiness, white is your garment, Righteousness, true is your judgment.   Holy Spirit, soft Wind, Blow in our hearts, Bring messages with blessings, To sinners in this last hour, So they meet their Savior, And, eternally their Father adore.

  One Step By Bernard Demaere   Looking at His face, In my Father’s eyes, Presently, He is holding my hand…   I did it! I did it!!! Another step, In the heavenly snow! For some it is… A minute tiny, Advancement… But for me, It is A major Accomplishment. One step… In The Right direction. One step… And I can see The smile On His face. One step… And He can see The excitement Back in mine.

  A Cowboy in the City By Bernard Demaere   A cowboy came in the city. It was one of those southern hot days. People saw him and were afraid and dismayed. It was long time ago in Texas City.   His heavy boots kept in the dirt. His large foot prints pressed down. His look was one that hurt. His eyes were beautifully brown.   Everybody thought he was very cool, But in a while that giant would be gone. Yes, that man was cool, even his heart was cool! Look at his footprints! How the wind away had  blown. Note: Hopefully I will be posting poetry on  Mondays, Wednesday and Saturdays.  I hope you  are doing great and enjoy this.

A Fly A fly, Coming through the open window, Uninvited, winged monster, Darkly clothed, And landing on my paper. Its legs, thin and crossed, Become linked And, inked, To the page. As I write a story About elements, Seemingly, Unnecessary, In all creation, Like the fly, And the mosquito, Touching, The dead, And the living, And leaving, In the end, A bloody mess, Of scraps and bones.

                                         Miracle on the Table                   (January 29,2020) Bernard Demaere   There I was on the operation table, Between life and death, unable, The surgeon who replaced my hip, Found that mine was super big.   Yes, the X-ray had roughly measured 70 mm But he found that accurately my socket was 72 mm, His words, the biggest he found in North America, Which has its largest usually at 40 mm.   The surgeon had to come up with a solution, Pretty quick. So, he used six crews, not four, to make it bigger.   The socket was now in place, I had lost 20% of my blood that day.   But God!   But God had a better plan as people were, Praying and their prayers were ...

                   A Good Friend   A good friend is patient, He can wait a moment. He listens and waits for his turn He does not rush into things or friendships.   He is kind and not harsh, He is sensitive to your needs. He is kind, but not blind, He will let you know gently.   He does not want what you have, He wants your best. If you have done your best, He is happy for you.   He does not think he is so special, And that he is better than yourself. He can let you win and not be hurt, He wants to serve you, you are the best.   A good friend is always courteous, He is a true gentle man. His words are full of wisdom,   And his actions shows it.     He is not always preoccupied, With his own interests and likes. He does not try to manipulate you, In doing what he wants to do.   It is not easy for him to become angry, He would rather talk about it right away. If you have done something wrong to h...
