Christianity Poems
Lamentation
by Evangeline Rollman
What is wrong, my soul?
My being, why faintest?
I've succumbed to desire,
but now, you're trapped in fire.
Oh, my heart, why do you weep?
My bones, why do you break?
How long have I strived,
but no joy has ever arrived.

by Evelyn Judy Buehler
It was late in gorgeous springtime, and I was teaching my class,
A lesson in African history, and the events of time's hourglass.
My fourth graders were very attentive, as I recounted the glory,
Of tales such as Mansa Musa's, maybe the richest man in history!
Sultan of Mali was Mansa Musa, during the far off Middle Ages,
The world's largest gold producers maybe, say the history sages.
When Mali consisted of 400 cities, he was a patron of the arts.

Slayers!!
by Joycelyn Eshun
Myths and speculations of beauty today
Church girls and boys considered out of date
If I am average looking then I fit the description of 'church girl'.
Clothed in rags then my place is the temple.
But unlike our slay queens we slay with purpose
We break down territories and command strongholds.
We present this world a new definition of slayers
Beauty with prayer
Fashion with purpose
We leaving our marks everywhere we go

ST FRANCIS AND ST CLARE : TWIN SOULS
by Ghairo Daniels
separated by vows of abstinence but
forever bonded by Light entwined
two parallel Orders twinned
in material poverty firm endured
with One Heart beating to
missions of Love ordained
in living Truth never adjourned
vessels of opposite gender
each frolicking happy dancing

Prayer
by Joe Cyr
Prayer is how we officially converse
with the majestic King of the universe.
From castle grand or house of sod,
Prayer lets us commune with our God.
To glorify Him Who loves us all;
thank Him for favors large and small.
To ask for patience and strength sustain
for trials ahead - to accept pain.
Prayers are used to seek support

How We Pray
by Joe Cyr
The focus of the lesson today
is the manner in which we pray.
Some pray with lips that mouth each proper word;
others do good deeds, ‘though they’re seldom heard.
Some pray too loudly, as if God were unhearing;
many strut proudly, with manner overbearing.
Some criticize others who pray less stylishly,
but isn’t that just a form of unjust hypocrisy?

If I Had the Time
by Joe Cyr
(couplets)
If I had the time, I could do much more;
if I had the time, I could all outscore.
I could work hard to improve everything;
given the time, I could do most anything.
Like pay more attention to my spouse;
and do those odd chores around the house.
