Don't Give Up Message Rocks
Don’t give up

Be the change you want

Have courage

Always hope

Relax and take a deep breath

Life is important

Shadorma

 ( I happened to see this very inspiring display of Life Message Rocks at my local community college today and it prompted me to write this poem. )

A Cry for Mercy

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Floods and Fires
“No more rain Lord”

A wet flooded Houston crys

“Rain Lord, we need rain ”

Oregonians praying

Wildfires raging 

And flood waters displacing

Elements ignore

Our Nation is on its knees

May God’s mercy be upon us

Choka

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22

A Future and A Hope

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Jeremiah 29:11
@SGLYMinistry 2017 http://www.smilegodlovesyou.org/sglystore.html

A spirit of hope,

Leads to a door of the future.

Prosperity waits,

In accordance with Him,

And His plans for me.

His word declares it so.

I sall not be harmed,

For His plans are for good,

For me forever and ever.

Choka

Based on Jeremiah 29:11

Bay Leaf Plant
Wounds are healing

Restoration is at work

New life is coming

Haiku

This little Bay Leaf Plant was growing great in a small area of the lawn but one day he was accidentally mowed down and was deemed too injured to keep. He was headed for the compost bin but I intervened to save him. I wanted to give him a new chance at life and so with good soil, water and sunshine I see he is now coming back. New sprouts are emerging! Soon he will be a big glorious Bay Leaf Tree!  😊 

Life at times is rough

Somedays might be really tough

Never giving up

Holding on til my last breath

I choose life over death

Sound in the City

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Music, performers, singing
For a handful of humanity

Scattered in the big city 

Working hard to reach their goals

The invisible, the unknown

Hearts came together

Dreams came true

Those unheard voices

Tonight 

Spoke

Heartstrings

Man with Guitar

Paled

And poor

Dreams fading

Into the night

He clings to the hope

That his fingers will find

A new sound upon the strings

That will refresh his weary soul

To arise from the blue funk of woe 

And dance to the music of his heart

Etheree
