Jesus There was a heavy knock on my door Seven knocks, I counted them, Now who in the world would do that ? He must be some character to think of that ! On opening he door I saw something very unusual to my eyes, A very tall man, dressed in white... – *by Douglas Hugh Mc Clintock*	11 Views added 1 year ago	Rating
Mental There is a different world out there And they are living on a hospital mental floor, For people who couldn't quite make it, Hospitals full of woe and hatred !

Living to Die Don't become sick and old And be a nuisance to others, To touch my body, it seems very cold, My life is like an unpainted canvas !

	Ride a bicycle in the sun Your ride will never been done, Cruising all the country side. Never to hide ! Go for it ! I was a country cyclist biking 20 years and up to 125 miles a day Now 88 !!. Any spelling mistakes, my worst enemy more » 1 year ago	View

	Poet cans write from an actual experience, topic or a word, it's interesting to see what will become of it. I didn't start till I was 87 so all my poems are sort of ancient ! But I have managed to write 70 so far just over a year !! It seems I am the person to comment, why is that ? I guess I have too much time. more » 1 year ago	View

	No, I don't, for I am considered by my peers that my mind is unkempt, having never graduated from any school of authority .A self man man does manual work because his brain never did grow ! But you need people with a strong back to carry your books of learning ! Better to have a bad critic for your poems than none at all ! more » 1 year ago	View
	I don't want to know you because first impressions are lasting, if you don't get it right the first time, you have lost your opportunity. Strike while the pan is hot ! 1 year ago	View

	Excellent poem about our relationship with the Lord. Phil 4: 11 tells us about our life when we are sick and old. Not that I speak in respect of want, For I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content ! A lifetime of service to our King will prove we are still an able servant even unto death ! more » 1 year ago	View
	There is no such thing as Heaven on earth except those destined for hell ! Those destined for hell will find out that this present earth is the only Heaven they will ever see ! Don't write folly, write fact ! To err is human, to forgive is divine ! more » 1 year ago	View

	There is no other life like it, to be a child of the King. He sticks closer than a brother and is master of our soul ! Our Heavenly Father is just that and He tells us Abba ! A beautiful poem to encourage us ! more » 1 year ago	View
	A Christian gladly tells anyone who will listen of the God News of Christ. We cannot keep it to ourselves, because this news creates a new person !No other book can do that ! That is why quite often I will share that There are no secret Christians ! God lives inside of us through His Holy Spirit ! No doubt you think it strange but it is true more » 1 year ago	View
