Poems from Heaven

By Uzoaga Kelechukwu

Poems from Heaven offers explanations of diverse messages and principles from Gods word using simple poems. The message in each poem is brought into better perspective using supporting biblical passages and discussion. The poems are grouped in four general categories that serve as chapter divisions: Inspire, Salvation, Scripture, and Agape.

The simple Christian poetry of author Uzoaga Kelechukwu will inspire you and touch your heart.

I am

If I was inanimate
Then I would be Gods sanctuary
Sanctified by the Blood of the Lamb
I would be a vessel unto honour
Fit for the masters use
I would be a garment, sparkling white
Flowing softly in the wind
I would be a beam of bright light
Soft on the eyes, but still piercing the darkness
I would be sounds of joy, praises and worship
Sweet music to Gods ears

If I was an animal
I would be an eagle, friend of the sun
Soaring highest, perplexing minds
I would be a dove, white and pure
The Holy Spirits best bird
I would be a lion, strong and stately
Defying fear, turning away from no one
I would be an ant, prudent and disciplined
Teaching men to be wise
I would be a lamb, gentle and meek

But I am a spirit, born of the Spirit

Acknowledgement

I remain very grateful to my beloved family, my late father Edwin Uzoaga, my mum Nkemjika, and my siblings; thanks so much for bringing me up in the way of the Lord, you’re the best;

Pastor Agatha Ibe, one of the nicest people I know; thanks for your invaluable encouragement and inputs.

I had support from friends including Nnea, Itoro, Daniel, T.K, Ijeoma and Joy Obasohan.

I remember reading this poem by Edgar A. Guest many years back. I was so moved by it, I wrote it down and read it from time to time.

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done

But he with a chuckle replied

That maybe it couldn’t but he would be one

Who wouldn’t say no till he tried

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin

On his face if he worried he hid it

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

That couldn’t be done and he did it

Somebody scoffed: oh you’ll never do that

At least no one ever has done it

But he took off his coat and took off his hat

And the first thing he knew, he’d begun it

With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin

Without any doubting or quiddit

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

That couldn’t be done and he did it

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done

There are thousands to prophesy failure

There are thousands to point out to you, one by one

The dangers that wait to assail you

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin

Then take off your coat and go to it

Just start in to sing as you tackle
