Drop Your Rock

By Jerry D. Warren

I was inspired to publish this mainly by my granddaughter. I had been writing for a few years already. The material was on three-by-five notebooks. My granddaughter gathered these notebooks and wanted to put them in a book for our family. While transferring the material from notebooks to paper, she suggested that I should try to get them published. That was about a year ago. So I decided to see if someone was willing to take a chance, and Christian Faith Publishing came up.

Many of my poems were inspired while attending church service. I personally believe that the Holy Spirit was involved in some, if not all, of these writings. They were about the constant battle between good and evil or darkness and light. For those who believe, it is an inspiration to continue and share belief when appropriate. The unbelievers will most likely never even look at this. Maybe it will inspire someone to turn to God and find the peace in the shadow of his light.

The philosophical parts are the “To Be” verses. These may cause some to have a deeper thought about things we may witness on a daily basis. Most are common sense, some have more than one train of thought, and others are kind of blunt.

Some of the poems are political in nature while others have a different aspect, all the while keeping in mind Satan trying to inspire people to turn from God.

The universal love of God and the giving of his life for each of us who believe allows us to start a new life through Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for our sin.

Life/Death

We are all born

Our life’s ventures await

We will be either happy or forlorn

Enjoy life and all your fate

A life is given to us

To live as best we can

It should be Christ we trust

On ideals we take a stand

This life I cherish

It, from God I did receive

It is at times nightmarish

At times it’s hard to believe

With luck, Christ I will find

My sin He will relieve

As with Jesus Christ I bind

The Holy Spirit I receive

I should not be afraid to die

With Christ I will always be

To proclaim Him, I will be not shy

He will set my soul free

I will try to not let

The fear of death rule my existence

I will look forward to each new sunset

While fearing death I’ll have resistance

When facing the reaper’s knife

I will try to smile and not fret

Accepting with calm my fading life

For eternal life through Christ I get

No One Left Except God

I am old

All my friends have died

Not long my hand will fold

Death cannot be denied

I will continue to write

My poem and some prose

About Christ I’m not contrite

In God’s Spirit I grow

Death awaits us

Both the old and young

Christ is who you trust

When the last song is sung

Quote

Death awaits no Man

When it’s our time we go

On our deeds for God we stand

After this, only God will know

When your time is up

Time to return to the sod

Friends gone, tip your last cup

No one left, except God

Maximum

A maximum is reached

In most all of life’s facet

The last particle is leached

At times it is just, tacit

The maximum sentence

Is life without parole

A prison can be intense

If on death row you enroll

A maximum weight

On which an airplane can fly

Whether it’s man or freight

Science and physics do not lie

Is there a maximum in space?

God does not have an end

We Christian believers of the human race

On God’s word we stand

For God has no limits

Any needs, God will create

For this world, His Son He commits

God’s limits not up for debate

Maximum life is attained

As Christians were fraternal

But what does remain

Is accept Christ for life eternal

Covenant

Agreements have been reached

Between individuals and nations

Every day, they are breached

This has happened since His creation

Two people agree

To live together in matrimony

Is it love or lust that be

It could end in acrimony

Union and company sign

Contract on raises and wages

Production is first in
