Humble Perspectives: A Book of Poetry

By Milan Newbill

Humble Perspectives is an inspirational book of poetry that I hope will provoke your thoughts and engage your mind. These perspectives are from a man who loves writing and loves people. This collection was written over a span of more than ten years and began in the mind of how an eleven-year-old boy viewed nature, then as a high school student viewing connections and relationships, and finally, as a young man observing life.

This debut book of poetry is centered on the viewpoints of life's happenings and the various circumstances that come with them. From the picturesque outlooks of God's amazing creation, the journey of exploring how to walk in faith, the value of connecting with people and relationships, the realities of life's hardships experienced by youth, and the triumphs of persevering survivors.

These poetic depictions reflect the trials, heartaches, love, and joys within people. The expressions provide hope, a heart-grabbing view of challenging situations for the young and old and creative topical writings allowing your mind to both ponder and wonder at the depth of the prose.

I hope you enjoy the glimpse into what I have captured as much as I have enjoyed being blessed by God to share it.

Gift

God gave you talent; God gave you skill

God gave you life and wants you to live in His Will

God gave you hands to lift them in praise

To serve His people so He can get the fame

God gave you a voice to shout His praise

God gave you a mouth to declare His name

God gave you feet to go where He leads

To follow the Great Commission by meeting other’s needs

God gave you eyes to see people as they are

God gave you ears to listen and hear another’s heart

God has blessed you

He has given you abilities to reach and teach

To meet and greet and add to His sheep

He has given you skills to work for Him

Talents to serve Him

Life from Him

How will you use them?

Calamity and Chaos

We’re in trying times, unfortunate circumstances

Causing the world to be blind

Always inside, fearful and afraid to go outside

Too concerned about what will happen next that we’ve left our joy behind

Calamity has caused men and women to utterly lose their mind

Going for things they want leaving the needs hard to find

No one is able to sit back, relax, and unwind

So much chaos has our hearts in a bind

No room for sharing; what’s mine is mine

Go, buy your own self a truck and stand in line

We are living in a sad and crazy time

No space to give; I need every last dime

Such calamity and chaos sparked a rise in crime

As a still small voice says, Don’t Worry We’ll Be Fine

Another voice says, Don’t believe Him; He lies

As he heard, the world
