Freedom-July 2013 – Leonas Lines

The days of July are coming to a close,
We have come to the end of its last day.
The sun has set on another month.
Summer is quickly running away…

Dew Like Diamonds

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Under the old shade tree
In places where the sun peeks through
The morning dew shines
It sparkles like diamonds
Scattered on a green carpet

In A Moment

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Angry
Rude words spoken
Close friendship embittered
Relationship destroyed hastily
Hearts wounded

A Day for Dancing

National Dance Day
A day to recognize dance
In celebration
My feet participated
I wore my gold dancing shoes

Freedom-July 2013, Rhyme

Every day has its challenges.
All life has ups and downs.
Many a day problems will come,
And turn smiles into frowns.
Focusing on what should have been,
And complaining negatively,
Is not going to change the present,
Or make “if only” come to be.
Therefore when upsets come,
It’s best to just smile and say,
“This isn’t what I hoped would happen,
But I’ll make the best of it anyway”
