Make Music

 "One ought, every day at least, to hear 
a little song, to read a good poem, to see 
a fine picture, and if it were at all possible,
 to speak a few reasonable words." 
Johann Wolfgang  Von Goethe

Make Music
by Elece Hollis

Make music wherever you go;
That's generosity.

Tap a rhythm—start the beat;
That's leadership.

Hum and strum a melody;
That's encouragement.

Laugh at false starts and off key notes;
That's grace.

Sing the words out loud and bold;
That's a gift to the world.




"Then those who sing,
 as well as those who play the flutes, shall say,
 'All my springs of joy are in you.'"
 Psalm 87:7

Zinnias

Zinnias are circus flowers.
They have pizzazz!
They make the passerby shout with glee.
Make him recall an old melody.

Zinnias are not the slightest tad shy; 
They shout and wave
As you walk by, "Look at me.
 Look at me. Look at me! 

I'm as bright as bright can be!
 Butterflies love to dance atop me.
On tippet-toe they ride the breeze,
They light and flutter merrily."

 Zinnias, you make quite a show,
 With colors and shapes that
 Swirl and glow, that shout, that sing,
 That mesmerize flocks of bumblebees!
