A Part of the Flow
~ Linda L. Dowd ~


With tides of life I now am flowing,
Down Old Man River I am rowing.

I fly with soft winds beneath my wings,
And with the songbirds my spirit sings.

My path at night glows with light from stars,
And moonbeams captured in candy jars.

I romp in fields of clover green,
And beside still ponds I lie serene.

With billowing sails I cross calm seas,
Down every stream I flow with ease.

With petals opened like lotus flower,
I drink in rays of solar power.

I’m fresh and free as a springtime breeze,
I bend and sway like the willow trees.

To Nature’s beauty I’ve opened eyes,
And now see rainbows that bridge blue skies.

Seeds of knowledge I now am sowing,
Like wise old owl I have a knowing.

I walk in His Footprints left in sand,
And I brim with love and understand.

For I am part of Life’s ebb and flow,
I feel the pulse wherever I go.

Absolutely beautiful and uplifting dear Linda.
Lovely this...lovely you.

The more I go with the ebb and flow, the easier my life becomes. That in turn gives me a sense of peace ~ both within and without.

I am pleased that I was able to convey that to you.

Love & Light,
