About Raelene J. Elliss

Many years ago, Raelene J. Elliss’ brother passed away in a drowning accident at a popular surf beach in South Australia. Her heart was broken, and the strain of the grief was unbearable. She had no idea how to express her feelings about that tragic loss.
One very warm evening, as she lay awake, unable to sleep due to the worry in her life, she wrote down her feelings on a scrap of paper. Out of that scrawling came her first poem. That was in 1986, and now more than 30 years down the track, Raelene has written more than 200 poems. They have mainly been for her family in celebration of milestones, birthdays, and Christmas.
She developed a knack for picking up a word, phrase, or very funny situation that would inspire a poem. She calls herself the Poetic Rambler and signs her poems as such. Raelene hopes that her poems bring joy and inspiration to whoever reads them.

in Christmas Poems

Praised in worship
The Savour King
Hallelujah
We love to sing

Praised in worship
The Savour King
Hallelujah
We love to sing

Silent night
Cattle lowing
Shepherds see
His glory growing

Swaddling clothes
In a manger laying
A virgin mother
A father praying

Frankincense
Myrrh and gold
Precious gifts
To be hold

Silent night
Hallelujah sing
Ancients foretold
This very thing

Born be he
The lion and the lamb
That silent night
The great I Am

FREEDOM

The human heart longs for what Gods got freely to give.
Open your heart to him, he's longing to love you.

Be set free
By my love and grace
Seek me child of mine
In my embrace

Be set free
By my love and grace
Seek me child of mine
In my embrace
For a place for you
Awaits in my heart
Child of mine
I've torn the veil apart
Nothing can separate
You from me
Be in quiet prayer
My face you'll see
No pain of heart
Complete peace
In my rampart

THE ANGELS

I am privileged to volunteer in a local Nursing Hone.
During the last few months I've come to feel a part of the community.
Sharing in the sorrow and the joy of the residents.
This poem was written on my heart as prayed with a dear resident who was passing.
She was unsettled and very anxious looking.
Whilst I sat with her she looked at me a pulled her arm from under the covers and held my hand.
Hence the prayers and reassurance, I literally watched peace wash over her.
What a beautiful woman.

My dear the angels are here
They want to take you home
To Jesus loving arms
You'll never be alone

My dear the angels are here
They want to take you home
To Jesus loving arms
You'll never be alone

They make the best cup of tea
Not to strong or hot
They'll play Irish music
They'll love you such a lot

Jesus will be gracious to you
He'll help you find your peace
There's no need to fear
You'll find your sweet release

You're done all you had to do
Loved and cared and knew
Crocheting lovely squares for rugs
It's in your heart to do

My dearest darling girl
It's time for you to go
Be in Jesus loving arms
He'll be all a glow

To have you in his loving arms
In his calm embrace
Look up dear darling girl
Into his precious face

Remember our precious loved ones
Always in our prayers
They've been taken home with him
Where nothing else compares

TALK TO JESUS

Inspired by the fact 5hat children simply talk to Jesus and so we should as adults.
Talk to our Heavenly Father about everything and anything that's important in our lives.
He loves us beyond our comprehension, far greater than a sermon can preach, greater than a measured.
He simply loves us.
So talk to him.

Raise your hands
In your quiet place
Close your eyes
You'll see his precious face

Raise your hands
In your quiet place
Close your eyes
You'll see his precious face

Talk to Jesus
He wants to talk to you
In your quiet place
All hope anew

In His name always
Lift your arms to him
Praise in His name
Praise him in a hymn

He will always keep you
Nd bless you everyday
He will turn his face towards you
He'll be gracious to in every way

He'll give you peace
And bless you so amen
One day you'll be with him
Then you'll know when

To talk to Jesus
In his presence, in his grace
Loving to see
Jesus precious face

HOLY SPIRIT COME

They came together in that place, to receive the Holy Spirit and see Gods promise fulfilled.
Go out into all Nat and share the good news to all men.

They came to that place
Together they shared
In the days that followed
They loved and they cared

They came to that place
Together they shared
In the days that followed
They loved and they cared

A mighty wind blew
Tongues of flames leapt
In each one's human heart
The Holy Spirit kept

A place to share a great love
Of the lord their God
Each and every way
Jesus has surely trod

They spoke in tongues
And each one rejoiced
In His mighty name
Hallelujah in His voice

Of theLord their God
Hearts spirit spilled
That moved in that place
God's promises fulfilled

I live in Australia; we are experiencing devastating bush fires. Snow seems like a wonderland by sheer
contrast. Lovely poem, well deserved.
