All of the
poems on this site were written by Jerry (Gerald) Bouey. They may be
printed up and freely distributed, provided that they are printed up as
is, ie. with the date they were written and with my name (Jerry Bouey)
on them. None of my poems are copyrighted, which is why I insist that
these identification marks remain on them - so no one else can claim my
work as their own.
Any verses or comments that are also
on the page may be removed at your discretion. They were simply put
there by me to share some of the Bible promises referred to in the
poems (or ones I want people to meditate on as they read them) or to
clarify certain things (so false impressions or misinterpretations of
what my poems are saying may be avoided). The dedications may also be
removed, as they were put there to honour and encourage specific
friends going through trials. None of the poems on this site may be
published in any type of magazine or book without express written or
e-mailed consent from me.
If you are a Christian of like faith
and practice, you are welcome to use any of my poems that you would
like to use in your mailing lists or on your personal websites, but
please send me the links to your site and the specific page that you
have placed the poem on. There are many people/websites that have made
pages for some of my poems that I do not necessarily endorse.
If you are not a Christian of like
faith and practice (ie. King James Only, Independent, Fundamental
Baptist), you are still welcome to use my poems - providing you follow
the guidelines above, but please also indicate that I do not
necessarily endorse your website and/or doctrines. As much as I love
sharing my poetry with others, I do not want others to think I endorse
websites or doctrines contrary to what is stated in our
Doctrinal Statement. (Please review this page if
you are unsure of where this website stands doctrinally.)
The poems marked with asterisks
beside them were ones that I had printed up in a booklet entitled
"Faith - Forever Abiding In This Hope" in December, 1996. NOTE: Some of
my poems have been slightly changed from the wording I originally had
in my booklet, and in my own writings. All changes were made by me, and
reflect my desire to be clearer in the message I share about Jesus
Christ; some changes had to be made to be more accurate Biblically.
All Scripture quotations on this site
