+*+*+*+*+*+
Reach your hands,
Up to the sky,
And touch the Blue of God,
Then drop your hands
To Earthen ground,
And touch the hallowed sod.

Then stand up tall,
And feel the pulse
Of land and wind and sky,
You are the rod
Through which life flows,
Until the day you die.
+*+*+*+*+*+

Ha!  I stand up tall every morning -- didn't know I was a 6'1" warrior woman!  Don't even ask about the rest of my family.  Let's just say out of 10 of us total, I'm in the bottom two!

Loved this poem.  Loved the message.  Yes, I shall stand tall.

Hugs -- Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Susan ~

I knew you stood a head taller than most women ~ and now you just proved me right! ~ literally and otherwise!

A 6'1" Warrior Woman takes no prisoners! lol

But, you still manage to retain your feminity and poetic soul! I think that truly does make you a Wonder Woman!

(smiles) And there's no better way to stand either than standing barefoot so you can also feel the cleansed Earth beneath you, yay! (kiss on cheek) It's either barefoot or sandals everyday for me, yay, God Bless You, 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,
Noah Eaton
