Poems of Praise Welcome to my blog...
That sounds so strange to me. I never would have believed that my love for poetry would ever amount to anything past my innermost thoughts and dreams, but look at me now--WOW!
Having always enjoyed poetry, my favorite poetress being Helen Steiner Rice, around the age of nineteen, I truly believe that God revealed to me that I could write them as well.Writing has always freed my soul when tensions had me in its control. Now by the grace of God and the good fortune of belonging to the website of Women of Grace bridging the gap.org, I have now entered the field of cyberspace with its unlimited possibilities of reaching other poem readers such as yourself and amazingly around the vast waves of the internet. This new experience dumbfounds me to say the least. I thank you for finding interest in me through the beautiful words God empowers me to create. I hope you are blessed by God's messages through my words, and are enjoying them as much as I have in composing them. It sure is a blessing to me to be able to share God's gift. It gives me great joy to write for others. Have you considered giving a poem to a special someone? Looking for a special gift for Mother's Day? You will find on the Download page of this website a choice of Mother's Day Poems that you may choose from for a gift of $5.00 each. Giving a poem is giving a piece of your heart and will be remembered and cherished by the heart that receives.

Hallelujah
 He's Risen !Rejoice, Praise His Name
For even the angel of death couldn't claim the immortal man's reign Because our Lord desires for his children eternal grace In all his sufferings he even endured spit upon his holy face So never forget how his blood washed you clean upon Calvary's hill That fateful day when he said, "Yes" to his Father's will J.M.M.

When you're down and out and full of doubt Feeling life's not worth the trouble Just recall to mind, the Great Divine One And He'll be there on the double If He's first in your life You'll never have strife I believe it's His wish that we need never suffer So put trust in your heart When things fall apart He's better than any aspirin to buffer You can get right with God When othes leave you in their dust In His love you can always trust For He's truly your best friend, never would He abandon you On this you can depend So pray and sing, read the Bible each day His truths shall never lead you astray For He loves us in spite of all our faults Whatever they may be When He laid outstretched arms for the world to see It was to set population of makind free If they choose to seek and truly believe J.M.M Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved  All Things are PossibleAre you dying, yet each day you still breathe? Do you feel empty, hopeless unable to believe? Are the steps you're walking in your journey each day provide you ample enough time to remember to pray? For prayer is the direction to the answers you're seeking in that up and down troubled road of a lifestyle you've been keeping When push comes to shove, allow Jesus to show you His love His presence will bring you joy so complete You'll wonder why you ever felt such misery and defeat So lean on Him when you're not strong He'll help to right that endless list of wrongs Be encouraged, find your childhood faith The time is right, don't hesitate You don't have to stay adrift in that sea that seems so impossible In the Lord remember, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE J.M.M. Copyright 2009 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved Just Because He Loves Me If
If God holds tomorrow, why worry about today Whatever happens is in His timing anyway Don't be a doubting Thomas Who needed proof by touch of hand For God's power is so infinite Mortal man will never understand So find some faith, try praying Just a little everyday And remember if God holds tomorrow Why worry about today J.M.M Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved |
 Shades of Autumn Shades of Autumn
Changing hues Chase away the boredom blues Gently floating on the wind Winter's just around the bend Soon the snow will then touch down Without a sound upon the ground J.M.M. Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved |

Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved  When I Think of Praise...My arms want to raise giving thanks to my Lord and my God For the talent to write these words of delight and the courage To say them just right. When I Think of Praise... I thank my Lord and my God for all That my eyes can see and especially someday when the Earth gives me away and my Spirit can eternally soar free. When I Think of Praise... My voice wants to sing even though It might be too loud or off key For I know in my heart the sound I Impart to "His" ears it's a symphony. J.M.M. Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved |
 Awakening SkiesJust now while I was driving to no particular place I suddenly realized there were tears streaming down my face And I pondered the reflection of the woman in the rearview morror Disbelieving that inside me I carried so much doubt and fear When over the horizon as the sun began to rise To my amazement I saw the most wonderful surprise Oh, the colors were stupendous Made with such artistic flair As if the Lord was saying, "My daughter, I'm still here" Well talk about a wake up call It certainly was clear He truly is my Father and I'm His darling little dear Dare I say when depression hits me and I feel like what's the use in trying When I really feel deep down inside like giving into crying Then like a light switch in my brain I remember about His way I get down on my knees and fervently pray For help and hope all will be forgiven, and everything will be okay So when an awakening moment happens and you feel it can't be explained It could be God talking through simple things Like a cool Autumn rain J.M.M.

The World of White
The world of white brings joy and delight To all who see its beautiful sight As it gently falls upon the ground Without so much as a little sound It covers the valleys high and low With plenty of pure clean snow Winter's Whisper The wind blowing through half empty trees Sending its leaves out into the breeze Whispering loud or whispering low Soon it will be time to shovel the snow J.M.M. Copyright 2008 Jeanne Makosky All Rights Reserved  I see a snowman on top of the hill I wonder who made it Jack or Jill I wish he was like "Frosty" with his magic hat Because if he could talk Boy would I like that J.M.M.

A Poem for Angelique
"Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus" Admixt the colored packages and pretty lights that be Something very exciting happened for all the world to see The shepherds heard and saw it That cold December night As a multitude of angels sang praises by radiant light This being your first Christmas I wanted you to know The meaning behind the season as each year you begin to grow So with this lighted candle by your family's Christmas tree Listen as I sing to you the "Happy Birthday" melody And someday hopefully whatever road you travel along You'll remember how much God and I love you When you teach your children what once was our "special song" J.M.M.
