In Full Flight
by Linda L. Dowd

In full flight ~ with my wings spread wide,
I fly unencumbered and free,
~ Across clear skies of cerulean blue,
And over a blue-sapphire sea.

My spirit sails on warm, zephyr winds,
~ With ease I now journey through life.
When I let go and surrendered to God,
Inner peace replaced ails and strife.

Ah, Linda, such beauty needs no commentary; it is testament unto itself---my heart is lifted high!

Thanks, and I'm happy you're feeling better!

Top class as usual dear Linda, how do you

keep coming up with such magical words that

flow like a placid stream, wonderful. Love

Yo dear Linda,

This is some lovely writing.

I don't know that God ever asks for surrender.  God has things for every person to do here on earth.  Some of these things are strange, and some are dull, but all serve some good.

Love Bobby

You have a wonderful warm open heart and you share it with others so willingly through your verses and replies.

Take care dear lady and may you have many many happy years of sharing your loving fellowship with others.

Wonderful reminder, dear Linda Angelo Terrestre!

It's good to see you soar again and have quickly recovered from the flu bug.

You know of course that this is totally after my heart!

Love and hugs.

Ooops, Bobby! I seemed to have been replying out of turn! Thank you for your nice and thoughtful response!

As for surrendering to God, I have found that my ship sails a truer course with Him at the helm! lol

There's a lesson in this, Linda...
in listening to soft whispers.

And, I needed this message just now.



Thank you, dear.
