Everyday Life


Mixed Media art, flowers, by Leona J. Atkinson

While the world is falling apart

My neighbors and I are building

Relationships, gardens, and ideas

In our little corner of the world

We are making the most of each day

That we have to build friendships and

Create beauty while we can

No not burying our heads in the sand

But focusing on the positive

And ignoring negativity

We live sensibly in unity

Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good

  1. Love the truth in this poem as well as your painting. We do not need to be weighed down by what is going on around us. As you said, there is much we can do to make our world a better place in spite of other things.
