About the Book
Roy V. Benson has introspectively changed his day to day purpose of living by selfishly accepting the Lord throughout his most every thought and action. He asymptotically enriches everyone he encounters, without overbearance.
Throughout this Volume One of My First Poems, the readers gain many comfortable real life tools which empowers them to casually accept every day stuff. The readers thus get a surreal feeling of Roy's thoughtfulness, selflessness, fullfillment of spirit and freedom of pain as illustrated here, which translates into the readers gaining Peace of mind . . .
NO THANKS
What small and puny men we are
No thanks for life to give
But take each blessing as though it’s ours
A selfish life to live
No thanks for food before us spread
No thanks for health itself
Too busy Lord, I guess we are
To gather things of wealth
Too busy just to pause in thanks
Ungrateful creatures we
I’m sure when He looks down on us
Ungratefulness He sees
Too busy with the things about
No prayer of thanks above
But take for granted all these things
The blessings of His love
I pray that I, for one will learn
To give My thanks to Thee
In all things Lord, the big and small
My life may grateful be.
About the Author
On July 11th, 1922, Nineteen hundred and Twenty Two of the Lord,. at Hoquiam General Hospital in the Pacific Northwest, Roy V. Benson started his visit here on earth. Roy readily accepted the Lord until the age of 14, when he departed. He came back to the Lord twelve years later in 1948. Roy was further blessed in 1960 to meet a true angel and love of his life, Renee. Roy took very special care of Renee on their spiritual journey even through her Altheimer years until she was welcomed through the gates of Heaven in 2001.
To date, Roy has hand written more than 200 books of Spiritual poems. One of his dreams came true, again, in 2006 with this first published book "My First Poems" circa 1960.
I Met A Man, A Gentle Man
I met a man, a gentle man
Along the road one day
They called him Ron, that was his name
I met along the way
I’m 83, he gave to me
A dream that would come true
He told me in his gentle way
My life it isn’t through
Our loving Lord He touched my life
I cannot here explain
I am so grateful for that man
I’ll never be the same
A Bible Book Store opened up
It’s all because of Ron
I saw the opening on that day
The breaking of the dawn
He made an old man’s dream come true
That day that here we met
O yes he blest my life so much
I never shall forget
I met a man, a gentle man
He made my dreams come true
I guess my Lord is telling me
I have some more to do.
-Roy V. Benson, September 2006
