NaPoWriMo 2013, #18–A Pocket Full of Rhyme

Posted on April 18, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

I’ve got a poem in my pocket,
A verse in my heart.
A vision in my mind,
As this new day I start.

I want to share them all with you,
As I go about my day.
Perhaps what I offer you,
Will encourage you in some way.

I hope my “Pocket Poem” will bless,
For it’s a verse from my heart,
It’s purpose is to bring happiness,
That’s my vision to impart.

So should we chance to meet today,
I hope you will stop for a time,
And let me share my thoughts with you,
from a pocket full of rhyme.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #17–“Good Morning”

Posted on April 17, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

Every morning I get to say,
“Hello” to a brand new day.

Each sun rise gives me the chance,
To greet a new happenstance.

“Welcome daybreak!” You offer me,
A brand new opportunity,

To start afresh and create anew,
“I am so glad to receive you!”

NaPoWriMo 2013, #16-Dancing with Rainbows

Posted on April 16, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

As I danced today,
The sun cast a rainbow at my feet.
The colors danced across the carpet,
Moving to the music’s beat,
It was all quite magical,
A sight to behold.
As the rainbow colors,
Touched my shoes of gold.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #15–Today

Posted on April 15, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

A day filled with triumph,achievement, and victory,
was turned into chaos and misery
for many runners and their family.
What a senseless tragedy.

My heart goes out to those who were at the Boston Marathon today.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #14-Hero from On High

Posted on April 14, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

I always stand up for you.
I fight for what is right.
I give you my power.
I defend you with all my might.

Each day of your life,
You’ll always find me near,
Willing to comfort or counsel,
Keeping you from doubt or fear.

I’m your Super-Hero.
The Helper is My Name.
I’m a gift from on high,
An eternal flame.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #13–A Walk Down Memory Lane

Posted on April 13, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

I went for a walk today,
Down Memory Lane.
‘Twas a lovely journey,
That I’d like to take again.

For people I had forgotten,
Suddenly came into view,
And reminded me of happy days,
As we recalled a thing or two.

They resurrected a dream,
That I had thought long lost.
I rejoiced to have it back,
And am glad our paths crossed.

And suddenly my steps seem lighter,
As I take the path towards Now,
For I’m holding on to a dream,
I know will come true somehow.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #12–Unsaid Thoughts

Posted on April 12, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

“Think it, don’t say it”
I’ve often said.
Cruel words are better,
Just left in the head.

For when your day is over ,
You will be so glad instead
If you hold your tongue from speaking,
Those negative thoughts in your head.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #11–Finishing Well

Posted on April 11, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

We all want to finish well,
And keep ourselves from going to Hell.

Then why do we fall under the spell,
Of the one who from Heaven fell,
And believe his lie? Oh, do tell me why?

The Son of Man came to die and quell
All doubt, and sin He did dispel.

Believe in Him to finish well,
And so escape the eternal Hell.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #10–Once

Posted on April 10, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

I loved you once,
But no more.
My love for you is gone,
Like the setting of the sun,
And yesterday’s dawn,
It is gone.
Washed away by sorrow,
And empty promises of tomorrow,
It did descend,
Ne’er to come again.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #9–Treasures

Posted on April 9, 2013February 1, 2014 by Leonas Lines

With my Bible in my hand,
Off to church I go,
With expectation in my heart,
Of what I may come to know.

A Book so full of mysteries,
And knowledge to be found,
Is not something that I want,
To just leave sitting around.

So I walk ever so swiftly,
Across the frozen ground,
Eager to reach my destination,
And the treasures that abound.

For when the Book is opened,
It often speaks to me,
And inspires me with wisdom,
That solves the mystery,
Of life now and forever,
And a Hope that is to come.

What a great adventure !
And it’s not just for some,
But for all who seek and desire,
The truth to be known.

Come with me on this journey,
And treasures you too will be shown.
