    About this ebook

    On our journey of life we all experience ups and downs, feelings of hurt and anger, being lost and alone, at times intermingled with fleeting moments of extreme joy. This collection of poems is inspired by real life situations; a written video if you like, of things seen and experienced that all can identify with.

    Author Rob Bovey invites you to read this book and experience how words can touch your very being. Insight and a view of life gained through his own journey are shared in a thought provoking way with honesty and incisiveness.

He is passionate about Harley's and Holdens, spending many years in 'Rob's Shed' repairing and restoring these grand bikes and cars.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      A Realm Beyond - Rob Bovey

      As we look in the Book,

      it Starts in Genesis, have a look.

      It was on That day He did Say,

      to Separate dark from Light in that Way.

      Because light and Darkness,

      together they Couldn’t stay.

      Have a Think about that I might say.

      Cos Christ came in the Same way,

      light in the Darkness till That day.

      When He did say On that day,

      and Him they did Slay.

      This is how we Separate the light,

      and Bring you from the Night.

      Then to the tomb there’s the room,

      for all of your Dark to park.

      Leave it there cos to find the Light is rare,

      it Drives out All your Fear.

      Let’s make that Clear, and like I said that’s Rare.

      But now you Know light and Darkness,

      together they Just can’t Grow.

      Move into the Light make it Right,

      don’t Live in the darkness Of the tomb,

      you gotta get Sick of that Room.

      Look to Jesus He showed the way,

      how To separate the light Today.

      Who Needs Who

      Don’t you feel their Pain?

      someone Has been Hurt again.

      Now they won’t Be the same,

      and Who is Really to blame.

      Are we All we Claim, or Do we just Play a game.

      Like who is who In the hall Of fame,

      As we all walk Down memory lane. Remember When;

      I’ve heard it said over and Over again,

      but Shouldn’t we move From out of our Head,

      and Live for Christ instead.

      See them down, they Are all around,

      Just look out your Door, They’re easy Found.

      The lost That is, Thank God they Have you around,

      to You they can Come for Food and shelter,

      or Will they Just walk, into a Smelter.

      I wonder What is Said,

      when you Could have Offered a bed, instead Of

      something From your head. And if they Want your

      Shirt as well, I wonder What story, They will tell.

      The Shores

      Why, oh Lord, is it so hard Being so limited by Our

      language to Declare who you are?

      And what you have accomplished Toward me and my

      Family. You are the centre of all that Exists and all

      that will Exist and even all that ever Existed.

      How can I even begin to Comprehend that?

      It would take Many life times to even begin to

      Describe that To find that one had only just Started.

      Lord you cannot be Measured,

      even the hem of your Garment stretches across the

      Universe that is known to man.

      I know this Planet has only a reflection of a Small

      glimpse of your glory. And your Glory shines on from

      a limitless Source of life giving energy,

      that is Beyond comprehension.

      Oh lord how I long for you to Make even but a small

      tear in the Fabric of the air, that I could take a small

      Glimpse into the seeable Spirit realm.

      Even to see what lies Beyond the shores of our

      limited World into your Unmeasurable and Shoreless

      Glory, power and your forever.

      Daily I can’t find the words to Say how I love you

      Heavenly Father, I give you praise, Praise beyond the

      Measure of my being. You Lord have Touched my life

      forever, Something that will never Go away from me.

      I will lift you in my Tears of joy and sorrow, I will lift you

      up in My good times and bad, I lift you up in my Praise.

      How long oh Lord, you have Known me is lost,

      Somehow in some Point of Infinity times Infinity,

      and is so Overwhelming to the Point,

      that I seem so
