DEVOTIONAL AND RELIGIOUS POEMS


Here are poems written which, in some way, refer to or pray to or praise God. For me, God is a generic term and includes the Lord; the Prophet; Allah; Ram, Krishna etc. I have tended to use the word Lord more often in my poems since I deem it to be a generic term for God, rather than specific for Christ, Jehovah, Allah, Mohammad, Ram, Krishna etc.
