Living
In the shadow
Of good things yet to come
Sheltered by His shade on my
Right hand

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.

I came
Soon afterward
Twas just at the right time
They said, but I knew Father had
It planned

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
March’s Marquee
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear
As I walk the dreary way
Coming soon” the signs say
Birds sing of a brighter day
Spring color will soon be here
“Coming soon” the signs say
Bits of color speak loud and clear

Forward Focused
Leaping
Into this year.
Marching forward each day.
Never look backward, not going
That way

IAM-God of the Present
I am right here
I am in your now
I am very near
I am right here
My word is clear
I keep my vow
I am right here
I am in your now
Triolet

God says His name is I AM
He is God of the present, the now.
He says:
“When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard for you because I am not there.
My Name is not: I WAS.”
“When you live in the future with its unknowns and fears, it is hard for you because I am not there.
My Name is not: I WILL BE.”
“But when you live in this moment, it is not hard, because I am here. My Name is: I AM.”

( quote from A Reminder from God on SGLY Ministry website. )
Focus on Now
The past,
And the future.
The two thieves of our thoughts,
That rob today of its potential
For good.
Cinquain
It’s A New Year!
Path to the future
Is not found
Walking in the past
Syllable Lune
She Laughs
Clothed
In dignity
Filled with inner strength
She faces the future fearless
Set free

Some Thoughts on This Last Day of November 2019
Consider…
You can’t go back
And erase the past
You can go forward to create a
future
Cinquain
Next month I have chosen to do a challenge called “Dressember.”
For this challenge I have committed to wear a dress everyday for the month of December in order to raise awareness (and funds) in the campaign against human trafficking and modern slavery.
So some of my poetry next month may reflect on this as I journey thru each day of the challenge.
I will be making daily posts on my personal blog about my journey regarding this challenge as well as posting pics and info about Dressember and the fight against human trafficking and abuse.
If any of you would like to follow me on this journey I invite you to subscribe to my other blog at: Blog | Leona J. Atkinson | Inspirational Writer/Artist
Blessings and Sorrows
As blessings come
So do many sorrows
All have some
Present, or tomorrows
Like a beating drum
Life constantly harrows
As blessings come
So do many sorrows
Keep the faith to overcome
And stand strong in all the morrows
Rhyme
Inspired by:–Don Moen–“Be It Onto Me” song lyrics:
“You promised to carry our sorrows
Lord, we believe it’s true
You promised unending tomorrows
Lord we receive them from you“
