King of kings


Come before the King,Who can do anything!

No power is greater than He!

With Him, ALL is possibility!

He delights at your company,

Come bow before Him and see,

The blessings He will bestow,

As Him you come to know.

Eternal King, Father, Friend.

He will be with you til the end.

To our King we do hail,

For His love will never fail.

Rhyme

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17

The Tree

Monoku poem about a favorite tree
Original Poetry and Photographs by Leona J. Atkinson ©2016

“The Tree” was a beautiful addition to my daughter’s yard. In the springtime it was full of beautiful pink flowers, in the summer it provided welcome shade from the hot sun, and it’s big branch held a swing for the kids.  But…over the years, with all the Oregon rain, it began to bend and break, it’s roots just couldn’t hold on any longer and finally last winter during a bad storm it fell.  Now, all that is left of it is pictures, a sweet memory, firewood and it’s stump, where one green shoot is now growing up, perhaps to be it’s replacement.

The primrose path refers to a life of ease and pleasure, or to a course of action that seems easy and appropriate
but can actually end in calamity.–(from Wikipedia)
