Welcome to Bible International POEMS BY STEVEN ROBERT HEINE A WEDDING POEM
This day you shall rejoice together, for in your hearts love's spirit flows.
Stand tall and proud and walk together, as through the years your young love grows.
The silver moment, locked in time, when you would somehow meet...
has caused your souls to cry with joy, and raised you to your feet.
Take now the cup of God's provision, and drink richly through eternity.
For in His Plan from time's beginning.... your love was meant to be. © copyright 2002 by Steven Robert Heine. AMERICA In Humbletown a flag still flies. Floating proudly in the breeze.
And down below the farm folk toil in fields that roll like lush green seas.
A builders hammer pounds the air, as a church is raised from virgin wood.
Three children play, not far away in a park built where a shack had stood.
An old man looks out from his porch exclaiming with a heavy sigh:
"America, America long may your proud flag fly." © copyright 2003by Steven Robert Heine DAWN
I count the moments till I see you, but always they are too many.
In years long lost, I starved for love, but never had I any.
The daughters of the darkened moon, played painful games that left me cold.
But honest eyes of rarest warmth, have healed my wounds with love untold.
I see your smile as sunset bursts, upon the deep blue sky.
With courage born to soar the stars... I shed my gloom and fly! © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine. HAPPY NEW YEARS In every year if a man is lucky,
he'll meet two or three people who become true friends.
And he'll set new places at his table of feasting
as he celebrates when at last the year ends. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine DREAMER Look far away for a little while, and tell me the dreams that you see. From the fountain of love that flows from your heart, great things will soon come to be. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine. A REQUEST You cannot see the silver seeds, my restless soul hunts after. But hold me now, inspire me with love and pain and laughter. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine. OASIS You were first to fill my glass.
Sparkling love you freely shared.
Thousands passed my wretched way.
But none till you, reached down and cared. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine SUNSHINE
You are in my heart and there to stay. Like the sunshine you warm me, in a special way. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine MARGE There came one cool, crisp Halloween, a princess I had never known. Who led me to a World I had not yet seen, but long had hungered to be shown. Her eyes were like the Autumn moon, her voice like the Autumn air, and I feared my dream would end too soon, as I drew her close and held her there.
Like tiny, precious drops of gold were the moments that we shared. Embraces were exchanged and secrets told, but real love was never dared. For she was destined to become but a memory and I knew I'd soon have to go. So I told her that she'd always be a part of me... and she always will, I know. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine MEDAL OF LAUGHTER If I've made you happy then I've won, a victory over sorrow done. If knowing me has made you laugh, then raise a toast in my behalf. Everything that I could do, to make your load lighter for you... I did enthusiastically, that fondly you'd remember me. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine A DEEP LONGING I wish you weren't so far away, so horribly, terribly far. I want very much to share your laughter... but far away... you are! © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine ONCE A RACEHORSE Once a racehorse born in time, to fight against the mocking hordes. Cursed to plow a farmer's field, he rose to meet the race of Lords.
Beside the multitudes he stood, stumbling, shaking at the first. Determined ever in his quest, his legs leaped forth with one great burst!
A thousand knights stood on their toes to watch him duel the pious kings. And then they wrapped him in the joy that victory over hunger brings. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine THE LOST KING Frog eyes, mud pies and days gone by. When I was a boy each day brought new joy and I never knew how to cry. Up a strawberry hill I'd climb for the thrill and pronounce myself a king. I'd wave my hand across the land and command the earth to sing. And the earth would obey and the plants would sway and rubies would appear at my feet. Then I'd smile with pride, feeling hungry inside and choose a strawberry to eat. But those days flew past and I grew old fast and now live in crumbling health. Though I still recall being king of all and living in infinite wealth. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine LILIES Writing, I think is for younger men. Whose eyes see more hope than mine. Whose pens float freely through the night, like cups overflowing with wine. Writing is for dreamers, whose dreams like roses bloom. Who hold the hearts of the World in their hands as they sit alone in their room. Writing is for less freer men, who have never been chained by defeat. Unscarred by love and courageous by habit, they conquer each hurdle they meet. Writing is for less wise men, who have never known great pain. Believing in beauty as much as themselves, they create again... and again! So the lilies of the field do blossom in the spring. Falling gently to the earth when they've given everything! © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine I like Spring time, except for all the singing that the local cats do!

He said: 'I can't wait to become a frog, in the throat of a politician'. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine ALONG THE WAY Fame and fortune don't amount to too much. For what matters most is the lives that you touch.
© copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine HARVEST OF LOVE I believe in God and He believes in me. And He provides the inspiration for my poetry. I didn't ask for this gift; it was quite a surprise. But by the sweat of my brow it will bloom in full, before His eyes. My life is short and my goals are many. And I fear I might die before I accomplish any. But I hope He may find when my life is done, a harvest of love, that my labors have won. © copyright 2003 by Steven Robert Heine

Steven Robert Heine Official Web Site COUNTY FAIRS DESERVE THANKS! Several county fairs on the in the United States have added poetry to their exhibits. Poets now have many more places to exhibit their work and get it read. If your county fair doesn't have a poetry contest, tell them to contact us and we will help them to set one up. For a detailed article on how to set up county fair poetry contests, visit stevenrobertheine.com
If your State or County Fair does not have a poetry contest, ask them to start one. Tell them you or your poetry association will be glad to help manage it.
Here are some sample rules:
HOW TO SET UP A POETRY CONTEST
1) All entries must be matted.
2) No entries may use wood frames, glass in frames or metal. (Glass gets easily broken at a fair and can be dangerous. Wooden frames are difficult to hang).
3) The fair is not responsible for copyright protection of each poem.
4) All poems must be original.
5) All poems must have a secure means of hanging on the mat.
6) All poems must have at least a size 14 font. (Poems written too small cannot be read when they are displayed).
KEEP CLASSES OF POETRY SIMPLE! Poetry displays at Fairs are designed to draw people to poetry that many not have a knowledge of poetry.
Sample classes, learned from years of displays.
Why not sponsor a cash award for your fair to give out in your name?
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved
darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
20
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the
light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
21
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may
be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."[
“Keep me safe, O
God, for in you I
take refuge. I said
to the Lord, 'You
are my Lord; apart
from you I have no
good thing.'”
Romans 8:28 "and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and who are the called according to His purpose". Psalms 37 "Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall give you the desires of your heart." God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again. Philippians 1:6 Acts 13:47 I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth. Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. Matthew 5
The Beatitudes
1Now
when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
His disciples came to him,
2and he began to teach them
saying: 11"Blessed
are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all
kinds of evil against you because of me.
12Rejoice and be glad,
because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they
persecuted the prophets who were before you.
PSALM 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
PSALM 2 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against his Anointed One. "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters." The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, "I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill." I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: He said to me, 'You are my Son; today I have become your Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery." Therefore, you kinds, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
PSALM 3 Oh Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, "God will not deliver him." But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his hold hill. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side. Arise, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. PSALM 23: 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, 3 He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. PSALM 123 I lift my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven. As the eyes of slaves took to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt. We have endured much ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
PSALM 125 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people both now and forevermore. The scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil. Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways the Lord will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
PSALM 142 I cry to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord of mercy. I pour out my complaint to him; before him I tell my trouble. When my spirit grows feint within me, it is you who know my way. In the path I walk men have hidden a snare for me. Look to my right and see; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, O Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living." Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are to0o strong for me. Set me free from my prison, that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will gather about me because of your goodness to me.
PSALM 150 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the clash of cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Our Favorite Links: America For Fun dot com Cams and travel information for all of America.
