Poems
Too many needs
Humans have so many needs!
Too many are “in the weeds”,
Plowing through at such high speeds,
High anxiety proceeds…
“Please come to me!”- Jesus pleads!
Trust totally—openly,
Pray piously—quietly,
Give graciously—spaciously,
God meets needs….tenaciously!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC

My latest poem
Thanksgiving Day Poem
Alive today? What a grace!
Lucid eyes to see this place,
Healthy legs to keep the pace,
Active minds to read God’s trace,
Tomorrow…the gift of taste!
Best of all, our Catholic Faith,
To persevere, win the race!!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
What will be your story?
Poets producing…prophetic pearls,
Writers weaving…wisdom’s wonderful whirls,
Speakers speaking…sound, salutary sage,
Singers singing…soft symphonies (on) stage.
Workers working…wearily winning wage.
Human haughtiness? God’s greater glory?
On Judgement day, what will be your story?
Christ by your side
With Christ as your caddie…your attaché:
You’ll hit em straight…keep it in the fairway,
Lower your handicap…in medal play.
Spiritual “pars, birdies”…on display!
Allow Jesus to mold and shape the clay,
Wisdom and strength…inundate those who pray,
Jolting your soul…more than cafe au lait!
Please don’t wait for tomorrow, start today!!
A shout out to Mom’s
Children’s continual…clamoring,
Crying, complaining…chattering,
Ceaselessly cackling…clattering.
Mother’s maternal…mannering,
Graciously giving…gathering,
Beamingly blissful…bantering,
Always attentive…answering,
Selflessly serving…staggering!
Embrace his plan…kowtow!
Darkness, doubt, despair…pain?
Devil’s deception…feign?
Watching, wondering…strain?
Working, worrying…migraine?
Live in the moment…now!
Be faithful to your vows!
Don’t ask God why? But how?
Whatever He allows!
Embrace His plan…kowtow!
Communicating Christ…cheerfully!
Doing dishes…diligently?
Cooking casserole…carefully?
Chauffeuring children…charmingly?
Pardon! Proceeding prayerfully?
Listening, looking…lovingly?
Communicate Christ…cheerfully!
Jesus, just, Jesus…joyously!!!
Christ, constantly calling!
Faithful friend…heart healer,
Best bud…conscience cleaner.
Divination dealer!
Christ…constantly calling,
Souls…silently stalling?
Absurdly appalling!
Start flying…stop crawling!
Body or soul?
Controlling cholesterol?
Augmenting abs- above all?
Building bodily beauty?
Daily diligence…duty?
Perhaps…pathetic pitfall?
Spirituality…stall?
Prayerfulness produces peace,
Inspirational increase…
Concerns, complaints, chaos…cease!
Body or soul? What’s your goal?
