Welcome 2016 Fireworks still going Music in the air In this cold cold night Thinking of how the last year was There were sad and happy times Some tears and laughter too Mixed with fear on some occasions But consoled with love and kindness What a roller coaster I must say These ups and downs of #life A rehearsal to prepare us For a challenging new year May this new year bring us all Love, peace and happiness

God's Gift B reath and take it all in R ising sun from the east E ver #life giving warmth Along the horizon T o the west Heavenly setting sun I nto the night then comes N ever ending glow G od given beauty, I take it all in! ##acrostic #leelee101

A Simple Wish I have a simple wish A challenge in a way One random act of kindness To a stranger on this day The feeling that you get Is a true gift for yourself Knowing that you showed Someone that you care Now if that one person Pass it forward to another Who knows it might just be One very merry Christmas! Merry Christmas and Have A Peaceful New Year to all!

Alone Every time I pass this old church I always look on the left side of the road It reminds me of this old lady sitting on the bench Alone, head down, dozing off She had this great curve on her back Just sitting there alone while people are passing by I took a picture of her only because it caught my eye Not knowing that scene will be with me after all these years 20 long years or more had passed by I still drive by that same street by the church I instantly still find myself looking on my left The bench is now gone, what was I looking for? I'm sure she's long gone by now What an impact I thought she had on me A soul was once on that very spot Unnoticed as people walked by It's a subject that makes me think What happens when we leave this earth Does the spirit linger where you frequented the most Does it stay in a place where you impacted someone the most Do we ever leave this ever evolving earth? Or become just memories imprinted in the minds Of the rest of the living who it once loved? Touched? Intrigued? Or simply crossed path? #Random scenes that moved me

Photograph "Picture Kept In My Mind" Here's a story of the twins Who thought were given up by their dad All they had was a picture when they were four Growing up thinking they were abandoned and given up Almost half a century had gone by Dad was heartbroken after a long search Both siblings was adopted by a kindhearted soul Unknowingly grew up on the dad's side of the world That same picture was a bad memory It brings out this unwelcome hatred now that their adults That same picture was all the dad had That kept him going thinking they could be found They now found each other after a long search Thank God for these people who really cared enough To bring families together who were separated and out of touch Because of misunderstandings, tragedy or death A picture that freezes the moment That serves as a memory of the past long gone Happy or sad it evokes so much emotion Of one's #life frozen in time # Stories that moved me
