Truth

Posted on December 19, 2013December 19, 2013 by Leonas Lines

The truth stands
It is absolute
A standard
Not changing
Even though no one believes
Truth is always true

Christmas Presence

Posted on December 18, 2013December 27, 2013 by Leonas Lines

Gifts!
Christmas,
Coming soon!
Wrapping presents
For my dear family.
This makes me pause to ponder
Upon the first Christmas gift,
Who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
God’s ultimate present to mankind
Is still available to be received.

Nature’s symphony
The sweet sounds in the meadow
Delightful rhapsody

Advent Joy

Posted on December 15, 2013December 27, 2013 by Leonas Lines

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

Ethereal Beauty

Melodious strings
Come alive with heavenly tones
The sound of a harp

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!

Early Morning Delight

A mind full of thoughts
Caused loss of sleep, I wake early.
Beautiful sunrise!

Young or Old?

Posted on December 11, 2013 by Leonas Lines

I’m too young to be old,
So I’m often told.
And yes, I’d quite agree
Since age means little to me.
I think and act very youthful,
But I must be truthful,
So I’ll dispel myth with my tongue.
“I’m too old to be young”

Life’s Moments

Posted on December 10, 2013December 11, 2013 by Leonas Lines

One more day of life
Upon this earth I have spent.
Treasuring moments,
I can make a difference
In each day given to me.
