Every day it draws nearer,
with every tick of the clock.
The end of my journey,
in this land that I walk.
With faith and perseverance,
the trials of life I roam.
Until my day is ended,
and God welcomes me home.

Tricks Of The Traitor – (by Tom Balistreri)
The evil one will tempt,
his ways are very tricky.
He promises life and health,
but leaves one dead or sickly.
He is is the father of lies,
he kills with deceit.
Turn to Christ for life and truth,
satisfied and complete.
The Mythical Myth – (by Tom Balistreri)
To the critic and the cynical
God seems only mythical.
A fact they dismiss
as only a myth.
Yet through the heart in clarity,
one see no disparity.
In faith all things proclaim
the glory in His name.
Gather Together – (by Tom Balistreri)
Let us not forsake,
are gathering together.
For as iron sharpens iron,
we are stronger and can weather,
the trials and challenge,
that believers may face.
Yet we hope in Christ,
and stand in our faith.
No Retreat – (by Tom Balistreri)
I shall not quit,
nor retreat,
until my work
is complete.
Until I accomplish,
everything,
assigned to me,
by my God and King.
The Legacy – (a poem by tom balistreri)
Envy not the wicked man,
who seems to have success.
For his life will end in folly,
his death will bring no rest.
The legacy of one’s life,
is not accumulated wealth.
But their love of God and others,
and their giving of themself.
In Anticipation – (by Tom Balistreri)
All creation waits in anticipation
for the coming day of the Lord.
For in that day every tear will be dried,
and all things will be restored.
After Your Pattern – (by Tom Balistreri)
Mold me Lord after the pattern,
You desire for me.
Not my will but Yours,
will truly make me free.
Hike Through Life – (by Tom Balistreri)
As a walk,
like a hike,
is a journey
through life.
Yet we need not fear,
or from troubles hide,
for as we walk,
God’s at our side.
Against The Slur – (by Tom Balistreri)
Deceit and lies may occur.
An accusation, a ruinous slur.
Stand firm in faith,
against evils schemes.
For the Lord your God,
shall redeem.
An accusation, a ruinous slur.
Stand firm in faith,
against evils schemes.
For the Lord your God,
shall redeem.
