annual tick tock day Dec.29thMy poem today was inspired by the annual observation of “Tick Tock Day”.
Tick Tock Day is observed annually on December 29th.

Tick Tock Day is a reminder that there are only 2 days remaining in the year.
Do you have any unfinished business that needs to be done in this calendar year?
Is there something big you want to accomplish yet this year?
Now is the time to finish up as the clock is ticking!

Take Time to Care

Triple Shadorma poem about taking time to care inspired by a Fall leaf photo
Original Poetry and Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson ©2014


I hope you enjoyed my first Triple Shadorma poem that was inspired by encountering this little leaf.

I dedicate this poem to all the elderly people who are now in nursing homes or care centers living out their lives perhaps in loneliness, hopelessness, or feeling no one cares. This little leaf I saw today reminded me of them.
This leaf reminded me to stop in the middle of my busy life to think of ways to reach out and care for others.
I am glad I am a part of a ministry (Expressions of Miriam Ministries)  that volunteers to go into these homes to visit with the people there and perhaps uplift and encourage them in some way by bringing the joy of life and the love of God into their waning lives.
