Goldmine Nuggets: After a few challenging years during which my wife and I stopped going to church, we eventually tried out a new church on Easter Day 2018, which is now our home church. We meet in a modern, mixed use building in Walsall, called The Goldmine Centre. I was encouraged to begin writing poetry again and by the end of that year I published a short book and called it Goldmine Nuggets to acknowledge the sense of my value and worth that church has given me, and to suggest that the poems in this collection are gems or nuggets of wisdom and insight in their own right. I hope you find that to be true!
These are poems of observation, heartbreak, love, guilt, forgiveness, warning and hope. Love is at the centre of everything we think or do, even if unacknowledged. Our experiences are enhanced when we have a personal relationship with the one living God, through Jesus Christ.
Prism: is a short book published in 2023 during a period when I was recovering from an eye operation. I had to keep my face buried in a pillow or cushion for a month, (my wife says it was two weeks not four, but it felt like a month!), with just a 10-minute break once an hour; 10 minutes for bathroom and hunger needs! My wife scribbled down my muffled utterances during my incapacity until I was able to sit up and review them into some semblance of order.
All He Asks All are welcomed, none turned away.
Mask So often we pretend all is well and put on our mask of conformity.
Dark Passage Jesus went to the darkest places searching for you and me.
The Family We can each, at the same time, be helpful and a hindrance
Getting Older Will you be satisfied when you look back at the life you have had?
The Jury Who are the accusers, prosecutors, judge and jury?
Faces of a Child of God The strong trust of a child with their father
Fame We put our efforts into pursuing our desires
Universal Law Scientists can say how, only God can tell us why
Defiant To The End Times when you misread the situation and react in the wrong way
Also Ran Surrender your ambitions to God and let Him guide and use you.
A Last Goodbye A time of sadness and grief
The Way Use the scriptures and let God be your guide
Scratching Friendship, forgiveness and not giving up
Grace Failure and redemption
Holy Spirit Rest in the arms of God
Mass Suicide Be careful not to blindly follow the crowd
For Who You Are A love song from our Heavenly Father and our love song in reply
Prism The light source, the rainbow, the promise, the freedom, the unity
Gethsemane Prayer Jesus taught us and demonstrated how to pray
Anguish The pain and anguish of Jesus' love and the choice that is offered to us
Double Delight A natural scene, an unexpected sight
Eucharist Celebrate the death of Jesus Christ
That Cat's Paws Who's in charge of your life?
Sight God never takes His eyes off us
