Creation reveals the Creator

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Vic_Viv_LincolnCity_073113I gaze upon the ocean with her mighty roar,
while above me the eagle does soar. 
A crab, which is a work of Your Own Hands,
is displayed for me upon the sands, 
as I walk and think and pray,
I give You thanks for every day. 
Thanks for the sun that shines and the moon’s fair light, 
the trees that shade and the stars at night. 
You made it all and called it good,
in six short days, as only You could. 
As I look around me and bless Your name,
I must remember Your greatest acclaim, 
the image of Yourself, created in others and me, 
people, reflecting Your beauty for all to see.

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….
