Motivational and Inspirational Poems, Volume 3 - Brother Frank Morgan
RICHES
Many people spend their life great riches to attain
Seemingly unaware that other riches, too, they need to gain
Some are rich in friends who are both tried and true
Who would never forsake one because of a different view
Others are wealthy because of children who show great love
Who often are like a wonderful gift sent from above
There are those who are rich in talents and attain great fame
Who should know that acclaim is not as important as a good name
Many have a home rich in both love and peace
Where ardor and concern seem to never cease
Many women are rich in both beauty and grace
And husbands will find them difficult to replace
Some children are part of a family very rich in love and care
Having parents who teach them with others always to be fair
All people have earthly riches with which they are blest
But the spiritual riches had by some are by far the best
For they have great peace of both mind and heart
Given by God to all who of His forgiveness have a part

HONOR
Some people are truly worthy of honor and esteem
And quite often are found on a winning team
Those who seek honor and respect from those they know
Oft will find people unwilling much esteem to show
A few are worthy of great honor and fame
And will long be remembered by their famous name
Children should honor loving parents who gave them birth
And realize that good parents are of great worth
We should honor our soldiers who gave their life, their all
For many of them in bravery and sacrifice stood very tall
Some people want love and respect from those they adore
When if given, will cause them to revere them even more
A faithful employee should sometimes be given praise
Which also could be backed up by giving them a needed raise
Those who are honored should not allow it to go to their head
And show an attitude of true modesty and humility instead
So, if you are ever able a place of honor to attain
Be sure you never allow yourself to become haughty and vain

PLEASURE
Far too many people are part of a pleasure-mad throng
Who seem to enjoy doing things they know are wrong
Some get pleasure in making a rival feel low and blue
Not caring whether things they tell are false or true
Many receive pleasure each time they win a game
Feeling sure that to lose is always a shame
Some get pleasure in pleasing someone they love and esteem
And look forward to the day they can become a team
A few can receive enjoyment on the job in which they work
And never from any of their duties would they shirk
Strangely, some get pleasure in killing a beautiful deer
Uncaring that to a fawn, the parent is very dear
Many enjoy fishing or boating on a beautiful lake
Where the problems of life they can briefly forsake
However, the greatest happiness is found in obeying God’s word
And voicing of joy and gladness can often be heard
For God rewards all who His righteous laws obey
And who from His love and care will never stray

SPIRITUAL WARFARE
God has a special group of people on this orb called earth
And the only way to join is by spiritual birth
Even children can elect to join this special throng
By asking God’s forgiveness and forsaking all wrong
God’s spirit invites millions to give God their life and heart
But Satan works long and hard to keep them from God apart
He also tempts many to give up this life so filled with peace
Promising that he from God’s bondage will give them release
But once they forsake God, Satan makes them his slave
Hoping to make them serve him until they go to their grave
God’s spirit often speaks to those who live in sin
Never giving up hope someday their heart to win
Satan promises to give a life full of joy and glee
But he secretly wants them never from him to be free
So, if you’re one of millions serving Satan today
Be sure to seek God’s forgiveness while yet you may
For God longs to have you in His Kingdom of love
So your
