+*+*+
I'm seldom
ever lonely,
not even
when alone.
There is so much,
to see and do,
and love seeds
to be sown.

I plan my days
carefully,
making lists
of things to do.
I love to go
and check them off,
be they many
or a few.

I try to learn,
something new,
each and
every day,
be it through
the books I read,
or through what
others say.

I keep my body
fit and strong,
it's the temple
of my soul.
By making
healthy choices,
I integrate
the whole.

I look for
silver linings,
when dark clouds
come my way,
I give my thanks
To God above,
and every day
I pray.

I do good deeds
and lend a hand,
to those who
are in need.
I abide by laws
of our great land,
and all the rules
I heed.

I banished
all my vices,
and I strive for
inner calm.
I aim to choose
the right road,
and avoid the one
that's wrong.

I'm seldom
ever lonely,
not even
when alone.
There is so much
to see and do,
and love seeds
to be sown.

Linda, I love this one... Keep sowing those seeds! Isn't that what poetry is all about, sharing what you have learned and gone through with another soul? Thank you for sharing your heart.

Bernie ~

I appreciate your appreciation! Nice to know that you are out there reading even if you don't reply to all that you read!

You must have quite a store house of info in your head from reading the newspaper front to back every day! My brain cells would get all used up and there wouldn't be any left for anything else! lol

Linda Lou, I love these verses. You have such a
positive attitude. I love that and try to do the
same...even though I do get so lonely for my Gary
when we are apart. I wrote another one about
our loneliness yesterday and am about to post it now.
We have to keep looking up, don't we?
Hugs to you, my friend

--I'd rather be up-beat than beaten down! lol

When I let myself get down-trodden and sad, I actually make myself worse. I'm so dramatic and I really get into the part!

I hope the day will soon come when you and Gary will be together forever. No more separations! --Mind you, your being apart makes for great poetry!

Huggums,
Linda

This is lovely~
Many thoughts of ponder within~

There is such a difference in alone and lonely ... and if more would do a little more seeding ... they'd be busy reaping the harvest of their making~

(smiles) Oh Linda, this is so very beautiful, sweet friend, and you will never be lonely because you have many special friends like me here and in your heart and that just comes to show sowing only brings more life and color to ones life! (kiss on cheek) May your garden always be rich in cherub smiles, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I surely do value your friendship, Angel Man! You are so effusive that you make me blush at times!--but that's a good thing! It makes my cheeks nice and pink!

Love ya!
