Patricia Bankhead Poems

My life without you is like
A clock without the time
A rich man without a penny
A poet without a rhyme
...

I've had many loves
but none compared
to the infinite
bottomless
...

Some people worship the fiery sun
And some the crescent moon
Some people worship the stars above
But God I worship you
...

When I look in your eyes
I am captivated
For your love has penetrated
My very core
...

Your love so glorious
burning like the luminous sun
You warm my heart
You illuminate my soul
...

I've learned to appreciate the rain
It's not for my loss but for my gain
Without rain trees would lose their leaves
The fragrant flowers would not heave
...

Over the power of darkness
And the schemes that satan feigns
Above all kings and kingdoms
Our Lord and Savior Jesus reigns
...

Here is love in all it's beauty
Here is love opened wide
Here is love poured incessant
Flowing like the ocean's tide
...

The love of Christ in its sweetness,
Its greatness, faithfulness and completeness
It passes all human comprehension
Beyond compare and dimension
...

When I gaze upon the distant stars
and the luminous moon at night
When I see a colored rainbow in the sky
and the sun giving it's light
...
