God Is All Around
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Fear not, my precious child,
For you are not alone.
God is all around you,
~ He’s not sitting on a throne.

He breathes life into kittens,
And into fishes in a stream.
God’s the Source of all Creation,
And a Part of every dream.

He’s the wind and He’s the sunshine,
He’s a Part of lakes and land.
He’s the Light in a rainbow,
He’s in every grain of sand.

God’s a Part of every flower,
~ Of the sky and every tree.
A Part of seas and mountains,
~ And a Part of you and me.



In Divine time, all will be revealed.
~ Linda L. Dowd

This is so true. There have been times, when it felt as if, He was right beside me. Literally! That's a good feeling to have.

This is simply beautiful.  I love it and know that many children would find so much reassurance in your words.

Lovely, Linda, just lovely.

Quite often, I find that a poem simply stated, can have more of an impact. (So sayeth I who tends to be flowery and long-winded! lol

Linda,
And best of all He shows Himself through you. What a lovely write for a precious picture. I really enjoyed this.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Earth Angel,

Yeah, you got it kid.  God's seeing and hearing all.  Be careful, he doesn't have much sense of humor.

Lady Kate ~

I was thrilled when I came across this pic. I cropped it from a large painting and it complements the poem perfectly! It is always a thrill for me when that happens.

God loves you!
