RAK Day Everyday

Posted on February 17, 2014 by Leonas Lines

Random
Acts of kindness
Spontaneously given
Will enrich the world we live in
Each day
Why wait
For just one day
To randomly do kind deeds
Practicing random kindness daily
Is best

Dreams

Posted on December 7, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Many unspoken dreams
Live silently within our hearts
Nourished by our hopes.
Someday they might come true,
If we have the courage to speak.

Always in Demand

Posted on November 20, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Someone’s always watching me,
Or racing to beat me.
It seems they can’t live without me!
In the morning I wake them
When they tell me to,
Yet then they often get angry
And hit me!
People are always saying I move too fast,
Yet if I stop, they get upset!
I really don’t understand the logic of it all,
But then, I’m just a clock!

The Day After…

Posted on July 5, 2013July 14, 2013 by Leonas Lines

The fireworks are over,
The celebrations cease.
Independence Day has passed,
Patriotism tends to decrease.
Yet, Old Glory still stands waving,
For she celebrates freedom everyday.
Her Stars and Stripes fly freely,
Unflurried, come what may.
May her presence daily remind us,
To value our liberty.
Let’s choose to celebrate everyday,
We live in this Home of the Free!
