joyful – Leonas Lines

FAITH-VintageBoot-Rose-Scripture
Faith holds strongly
Belief based deeply
Un-battered, Un-broken
Heart un-swaying
Joyfully dances securely
Soul peaceful
Doubts fly away
Faith stands firm
Beliefs rooted deep

Unshaken

Deep rooted beliefs
Firm stands faith
Away fly doubts
Peaceful soul
Securely dances joyfully
Un-swaying heart
Un-broken, Un-battered
Deeply based belief
Strongly holds faith

This or That

Scatter kindness mixed media art — “Scatter Kindness” mixed media ATC by Leona J. Atkinson

Scattered

Everywhere

Tiny seeds of kindness

Some grew and joyfully to me

Returned

Cinquain

In the morning sow your seed,

And in the evening do not withhold your hand;

For you do not know which will prosper,

Either this or that,

Or whether both alike will be good.

EccL. 11:6 NKJV

Tis’ the Season

Posted on December 3, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Evergreen, red bow, red berries, baby deer, snowy

Lights

Twinkling

Reflecting

Everywhere

Smiles are shared

With strangers on the street

Stores are filled with

Shoppers looking for once a year treats

To share with others generously

There’s just something about Christmas

Little Ballerina

Posted on May 4, 2014May 4, 2014 by Leonas Lines

This poem is based on an adorable little girl I met the other day.
She was about 3 years old and was so proud of her name and of the fact that she could twirl and dance !
Her sweet, joyfulness just made my day!

Joyful Candle!
Lit, it rejoices in Hope!
Peace’s light shines
Even brighter!
All invite the world to rejoice
And be glad today!

A Harmony of Sounds

Posted on December 13, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Cheerfully,
Sounding,
Harmony!
The Symphony,
Resounds in accord!
Such a sweet melody.
Proclaiming the Holiday.
Joyful tones inviting hearts to rejoice!
We celebrate the seasonal sounds,
Of masterpieces performed in perfect unity!
