Sweet Sap of Life
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

I suck the sap of life so sweet,
And trod the bitter beneath my prancing feet.
I breathe in flowers’ fragrant breath,
And will laugh with fairies until my death.

With glad emotions I do dance,
And greet each morning with exuberance.
On my frailties ~ I do not dwell,
For life is good and all is well.

I skip my way thru’ daisy fields,
And reap the bounty of summer yields.
With every blessing that I perceive,
My faith’s restored in full believe.

I do not fear what life befalls,
Whenever I hear bird madrigals.
And as butterflies go winging by,
My spirit rises to touch blue sky.

I suck the sap of life so sweet,
And trod the bitter beneath my prancing feet.
I breathe in flowers’ fragrant breath,
And will laugh with fairies until my death.

Great Linda!  
Do you tiptoe through the tulips too?
Crazy about that sweet voice!

Hello my dear sweet soul sister ... I have missed you so much but from this poem, it is good to hear your voice.

You are so lifted up and positive that one cannot help but be the same when reading/hearing your remarkable pieces of art.

I am proud to call you sister and read/hear your delightful words.  

many huggles, Marti

Lady Kate ~

Come join me among the flowers along the garden walk and we can sing and laugh along with the fairies.

Meet me at three and I'll have a cup of sweet sap for thee!

Yes, I tiptoe through the tulips as well. People mistake me for Tiny Tim all the time! ~ Only difference between he and I is that Tiny's hair is curlier than mine! ~ And he sings in a false falsetto!

Enjoyed your reply as per usual, Tex Man!

Misty Lilacs!!! My sweet soul sister ~ you're back!!! My goodness, Marti, have you been hanging out in the misty lilac bushes among the fairies? But surely I should have felt your presence, angelic one!

Marti, I am so happy that you are back and that you got to hear one of my poems with audio. I feel that my poetry connects with the reader on a deeper level and I find that so satisfying.

I have been thinking of you!

Love to you, my sweet soul sister!

Linda, what a wonderful attitude you have.  

I always believe that no matter what happens on the paths of life, it's your attitude that matters most. If you have the right attitude you can overcome anything.

A special poem Linda, loved it.  Lindsay

Good Afternoon Linda,
Beautiful poem and music.
Hope your weekend has been good to you so far.
I don't get too many of them these days.
Again let me say your poem is beautiful.

Lindsay P ~

I just realized that your name contains my name! As they say, the more letters that are the same in the names of two people, the greater the chance that they are compatible! It's no wonder then, that we appreciate each other's poetry!

Loving hug and a broad smile,

WindWalker ~

Hi, WW! I appreciate you saying so! Thank you very much! I enjoy doing these little mini productions. It would be great if more poets would do them as well. At our local monthly gathering of poets, I participate in the open mic and enjoy reciting and listening to others recite their poetry as well. It is as though we are connecting with each other on a deeper level. It's wonderful!

Loving hug,

EA

Hi, Hawaii Man ~

Yes, James, I am. Those who know me and who are aware of all the trials and tribulations that I have had to face in life, are amazed that I am able to keep such a positive attitude.

I enjoy the sweet, simple things in life ~ of which there are many ~ and after dealing with the less savory ones (from which I hopefully have learned a thing or two), I then release them up into the ethers and get on with living positively and in the now.

Think happy! Be happy! ~ is my motto.

Oh, Linda, I love this so much. I have played it over and over. You have a voice as sweet as any angel I have heard.

This is my favorite line:
"I breathe in flowers’ fragrant breath,
And will laugh with fairies until my death."

God bless you dear friend.  ooxx

Misty Lilacs ~

How could a response such as yours, fail to fill my heart with gratitude?

It pleases me greatly that you enjoyed it so much that you "played it over and over".

Thank you so much, Marti, for sharing that with me. It means a great deal.

May the sap in your life, be ever so sweet!

Linda xo
