Don't Delay the Joy Poetry
Don't Delay the Joy Poetry is Christian prose written by author Robert L Gardiner. The poetry is Christ centered, based on the author's love of Jesus Christ. His own personal experiences give added meaning to each poem, which proved to be an excellent form of catharsis for the author, during a time in which it was needed. It is the hope of the author that those that read his works will also feel a sense of renewal, through the readings, but more importantly come to a better understanding of the importance of having their own personal relationship with the Lord.
