Journey of Forever Miles
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
Motes of stardust envelope me,
As mists roll in from cosmic sea.
And perfume sweet of Heaven’s scent,
Removes all trace of discontent.

I’m carried high on angel wings,
Thru’ endless skies as Choir sings.
Pain and sorrows lift from me,
As soul ascends and I’m set free.

As I cast off these feet of clay,
With thankfulness in heart I pray.
I’m bathed in His loving Grace,
And fear not death in God's embrace.

This journey of forever miles,
Has brought an end to all my trials.
As I stand strong ~ no longer bent,
I thank Him for His angels, sent.
+*+*+*+*+*+

And, you dear Linda are one of His loving 'earth angels' I am sure.
This is a very inspirational read.
Beautiful thoughts to start my day.

Again, dear Linda, you lift me into the heavens with you and smile me happy - like drifting upon a soft fluffy cloud in the warm of the sun -

  Hugs - Susan

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

Nancy ~

For me, having a reader comment that my poetry is inspiring, is the highest and most rewarding comment I could receive. Thank you, for saying so!

Hugs with love,
Linda

You always "smile me happy" as well! That is such a sweet, sparkly thing for you to say!

Happy smiles from across the miles,
Linda

(smiles) When angels are always around giding us and the children, the journey doesn't seem that far at all which makes us believe anythig is possible, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is sooooooo pretty, 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,
