Spring Concert

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Resounds
The symphony
Musical vibrations
Reverberate in harmony
So sweet

DANCE Acrostic

Posted on by Leonas Lines

This DANCE Acrostic is an original I wrote for the Praise and Worship Dance Team that I am on.  It really is our Mission Statement.
We do monthly presentations at Retirement Homes, Churches, and other Events.  Our dance is a mix of Jewish Folk Dance, C&W Line Dance, Interpretive Worship Dance, and other sources.  Our music is Contemporary Christian with some Old Hymns–but often we do
incorporate some modern Holiday music too.  (Just last Christmas I had fun dressing up as Frosty the Snowman and dancing around!)
Our desire is to create a fun atmosphere where we can share the love of God through dance and music.  We often use tambourines and worship flags in our presentations also.  I invite you to visit our website at: www.eomdt.org  for more information and photos.

Festival Park Revisited

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Today I drove past the places we had been,
not too long ago,  
and no one knew except me,
that the same street I was on today,     
was the very one we had ridden our bikes down
that rainy day in June.

I remembered how we had gotten so soaked from the pouring rain,
that our hair dripped in our eyes,
and our shoes squished when we walked,
but we held hands and laughed,
and listened to the band play,
and we were warm and happy.

Today, it is not raining,
my shoes are dry and the sun is shining,      
but there is no music
and everything seems cold and empty.        

Teardrops replace the raindrops in my eyes,
because I am here, and you are not….
