Running in Circles

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Side tracked
Lost my focus
Following rabbit trails
Did not keep to the beaten path
Off course

Provision

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Leonas Lines

I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”

A New Day

Posted on September 16, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Today,
My life goes on,
And yesterday’s cares fade.
What a difference a day makes.
Time heals.

The Sacrifice

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Leonas Lines

It’s done. It’s over,
The locks lay in piles on the floor.
The curls of contention,
Are no more.

Pushed to the breaking point,
He gave in.
He gave up the hair he loved,
And the dream he held within.

To conform to others wishes,
He put his feelings aside.
He became their new person,
While his real identity died.

Word Power

Posted on September 14, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Life. Death.
The difference
Is often a thin thread
That one careless word could snap and break.
Caution
Needed.
Be very careful when speaking words.
They have power to change life
For better or worse.
Choose wisely.
