A Guy named George

Posted on by Leonas Lines

I met a guy named George today,
Quite a character was he.
97 years old,
And still full of glee!

He came into the room singing,
Every song mentioned he did know.
Verse by verse he’d sing them out,
He really stole the show!

Our Dance Team came prepared,
Joy and happiness to bring.
Yet it was we who were blessed,
As we listened to George sing.

George showed forth a true joy,
That only faith in God can bring,
As he smiled and encouraged all,
To just open up and sing!

Happiness

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Another day of life
A new opportunity
My daily happiness
Given by the grace of God
I choose to rejoice and be glad

NaPoWriMo 2013, #18–A Pocket Full of Rhyme

Posted on 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.
