Barriers
Life’s obstacles
Restraining our progress
Each day we strive to overcome
Hindrances
Pitfalls
Happenings that cause us delays
Things that get in our way
Daily obstructions
Challenges

Remembering the countdown
How quickly New Years age

It’s National Opposites Day!

Posted on January 25, 2014January 25, 2014 by Leonas Lines

Shall I say goodbye when I mean hello?
And should I stay when I really want to go?
On this day of opposites,
Does anyone know what really fits?
If I say what I mean,
Will I mean what I say?
Oh Lord help me make it through this crazy day!
Perhaps it would be better to stay in bed,
And just skip this day instead,
But if sunrise is sunset, it’s over before it begins,
So I shall just play along ’til it ends!

Old friends passing time
Revisiting times and places
Bring forth laughter and tears
As they share fond memories
Of youthful days so long ago

Pie and Cake

Posted on January 23, 2014 by Leonas Lines

My favorite treat to eat
Is both cake and pie
It’s cheesecake not too sweet
Delighting the eye
Where top and fruit meet
Shaped like pie
Sigh!
