Christianity Poems
The Papal Vision
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
In verity and with great hopes,
Malachy told his Prophecy of Popes!
Centuries ago, he was called to Rome,
Like the bees to their honeycomb.
There a beauteous vision did flower,
Of all remaining popes in their hour!
His sequence of most cryptic phrases,
From first to last, still quite amazes.

Loving Hearts Show Kindness
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Kindness is a thing that gives love its wings. Often it comes
from people you know and love, but sometimes it comes from a
stranger most unexpectedly, surprising the recipient, and even
the giver as well, for how we react to crisis, only time can
tell. A split second act of courage has saved many a life, at
the rescuer's own peril. Loving hearts are caring, feeding the
hungry and caring for the sick. Loving hearts are champions
of humanity, always striving for the best in humankind. The
teachings of Jesus and kindness are in perfect harmony, like
the moon is in harmony with the night.

Jesus Is
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
A light in the dark ages,
Foremost in history's pages;
Ruler of all human hearts,
A subject of all the arts!
Source of all Christmas magic--
Victor over death so tragic!
Doorway to the life eternal,
An everlasting flame internal!

Psalm 23
by Joseph Ogbonna
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Even when in a famished state I hunt,
In pastures green and lush with abundance,
He renews my spry and exuberance.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In gardens of drought He will fortune plant.
He leads to quiet pools of fresh water
from which I draw strength and endless laughter.

At the Golden Dawn of Understanding
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.

Oh God
by Joseph Ogbonna
God almighty of generations all,
who did witness great empires rise and fall.
We gladly wait for thy eternal reign,
when saints martyred will beam with smiles unfeigned.
God immortal of centuries ageless,
whose dexterity carved our global ball.
When will thy saints the new earth inherit?
where conduct is guided by thy spirit.

Thank you Lord!
by Graham Ereks
My heart is filled with songs of praise,
For when I am down you alone raise
Me. When I was nothing you made me fly
And now I jolly ceaselessly, so worth it.
I'm the guilty one but you sacrificed your son
Who descended willingly, got scotched by the sun,
Uncladded, tortured and mocked, what a rawdeal!
Now I stand before you blameless and worthy Do I deserve it?
