The Believer Poet Children Poetry

The Believer Poet, Ahrend Walters, has written some poems for children, especially orphans and children in need. He will continue to do so because he believes children's poetry can touch the hearts of everyone.

The Believer Poet Ministries supports the work of World Vision. Ahrend Walters sponsors a young child, Oggie, a "Hope Child". This young boy and his family live in a community in Zambia, Africa that is severely affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.



Sponsor a child through World Vision.

Hide and Seek
By: Ahrend R. Walters

Why are planets
Why are we

You may wonder
Hoping for

When you think
As you’ve thought

Remember God
We’re here
stars and moons?
sunny days and glooms?

this in mind
an answer to find

this hard and deep
at hide and seek

because He’s why
and planets high


Tiny Tortoise Tumbo

Tiny tortoise Tumbo
He broke his little leg
As he cried with lots of pain
He fell into a burrow
Hopeless then he truly was
He yelled for help O loudly there
He in the burrow all alone
Not a soul is coming here
While he cried the many tears
Whenever you’re troubled
So then he said a prayer to Christ
And waited there for hope to come
He heard a yell from Peat his friend
I’ve come to help you buddy boy
while playing with a friend
then giggled Betsy hen
and limped away for home
which was not his own
because he couldn’t climb
hoping one would find
He thought what should I do
they have no not a clue
He remembered someone say
bow your head and pray
The Bright and Morning Star
from the very far
Tumbo Tumbo pal
told me Oggie owl


Better Lanes
By: Ahrend R. Walters
Written December 31, 2007

Where will you go
From your heart
There is a need
Scurry now run

As have withered
So are children
A song of love
We can give

You're an angel
Go now fly
To those who suffer
Lets give she Hope
what will you give
as dying live
for you blest friend
soon life will end

the flowers of spring
lets go now sing
through action and deed
while many greed

from God above
as a dove
with disease and pains
and Better Lanes


Hear
By: Ahrend R. Walters
Written December 31, 2007

When despair surrounds
She Hope so pure and free
At when may be
Or chasing bees
She Hope is there
Our King who came
He has sent her
Through His perfect
Hope has come
In your mind
close your eyes and hear
in your mind not ear
a horrid storm
in a swarm
from Jesus Christ
and sacrificed
from above
endless love
now listen hear
she says don�t fear
