| What is an Occasional Verse |
|
An Occasional Verse is Poetry for the Everyday Poet. A website devoted to enabling poets easy access to publishing their occasional verse, poetry collections, poems, lyrics, odes, songs and sonnets. Starting with the ability to post their own work on anoccasionalverse.com and even going as far as starting your own poetry website.
We are still working to make An Occasional Verse easy to use but as you can now easily register and begin uploading your own poetry. The collections option is also now working. When you log in you will have the ability to Add a Collection. Then when you go to upload your Poems you can pick from your collections.
As of 04/21/2005 you can't search or list based on the Category but we are working on that also. We appreciate your patience while we make this the best poetry website available on the web.
We look forward to your comments and feedback.

When God Does Call Us Home Again - Viewed 423 Times
| David Devaney

February 21, 2009 |
When God does call us home again
It matters not our name
Or if we did success achieve
And found an earthly fame
It matters not the gold we sought
The diamond or the pearl
Or if a war we there had won
With banners to unfurl
It matters not the path we took
If goodness was our guide
If we religion did espouse
Or from its demons hide
It matters not if we did lead
Or merely watch and pray
With focus on a precious faith
That God had sent our way
When God does call us home again
Will we him recognize
Simplistic in his presence
With love he’ll not disguise
And will we be most worthy too
And there his grace achieve
It’s not just living here on earth
But how we do believe
It’s sharing all that we possess
With everyone we know
Allowing knowledge to transform
Just how we seem to grow
It’s giving of our talents
Relinquishing our heart
Loving just because we can
As each new day does start
When God does call us home again
We’ll thank him for our time
Then share our life experience
Both in and out of rhyme
We’ll tell him of each consequence
Of all that we did learn
Then thank him for the gift of love
That we in life must earn
And last but most importantly
We’ll share what he has taught
That life well lived is heaven sent
And can’t be sold or bought
