Rocks painted by me and my grand-daughter

Smile! Imagine Peace.

You Matter. Breathe.

Be Happy! And Dream.

Have Faith and Hope

Syllablic Verse

My grand-daughter and I had a “painting day” together today. We had fun painting inspirational rocks to put in my rock garden.

She was very creative and imaginative and turned two of the rocks into a horse face! 😊

Inhale and Imagine

Pink Rose, rocks balanced in a pile, purple flowers

Breathe deep and dream!

Breathe deep, and face that fear!

Things aren’t futile as they seem,

Breathe deep and dream!

Life is just a balance beam,

Forward steps bring victory near,

Breathe deep and dream!

Breathe deep, and face that fear!

“The Starry Night”

Posted on April 22, 2019April 22, 2019 by Leonas Lines

Down below

We dont really know

What swirls above

And dwells thereof

In that starry night

That lies beyond our sight

Among the clouds of white

Floating in a sea of blue

Are things hidden from our view

We can dream and contemplate

Research, study and debate

Yet we’ll not truly know my friend

Until our life reaches its earthly end

Pointing finger

Who are you that sits on a self made throne,

That’s padded with a pillow of pride,

Wearing a robe of perfection?

Your know-it-all attitude

And hastily pointing fingers,

Fill the air with dread,

As you speak words

That tear down

Someone’s

Dream.

Reverse Etheree

What Do You Want?

Posted on October 19, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Scene from movie “The Notebook”

Things are not always as they seem

Sometimes life is extreme

But don’t give up on your dream

In the middle of the stream

Dont let go of your steam

Though water is stirred

Vision blurred

Stay spurred

Try!

They Said—I Said

Posted on August 28, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Big tree

They said “Just give in”

They said “You’ll never get far”

They said “ You won’t win”

They said “Just give in”

They said “ Don’t even begin”

They said “Who you think you are?”

They said “Just give in”

They said “You’ll never get far”

I said “ I won’t give in”

I said “ I’ll make it someday”

I said “ I will soon win”

I said “ I won’t give in”

I said “ I will begin”

I said “ I will soon find a way”

I said “ I won’t give in”

I said “ I’ll make it someday”

Double Triolet

Written to all the Naysayers from a Yaysayer

“Never Ever Give Up!” “Stand Tall” “Grow”

(When I saw this huge tall tree on my walk the other day these thoughts came to mind)
