The Light of Thee

~ Linda L. Dowd ~

There’s heavenly bliss in your embrace,
Twinkling stars light up your eyes.
I blush whenever I think of you,
And flush when the sap does rise.

A comet streaking an indigo sky,
‘Tis a wondrous sight to see.
It stirs excitement within my breast,
But it lacks the fire of thee.

The Man-in-the-Moon’s sweet smile,
Is charming but cannot compare,
To the dimpled cheeks of yours, my love,
With your boyish grin and flair.

The sun in all its glory,
Shines its sunny rays on me.
But it cannot brighten my spirit,
As does the Light of thee.

Yes, I am blessed ~ and I most definitely know it!!!

My love poems, as well as my spiritual/inspirational poems practically write themselves because they flow straight from my heart.

Love you, girlfriend!

BTW, Alan sends you a "Hi!" & a hug!

~ and so do I!

Hi there friend .... Popped in this morning to read some poems and of course, you are at the top of my list.

This piece is so loving and delightful. I hope Alan appreciates what a fabulous woman he has!

All is well here in the mountains. Foliage a little dull this year but still a sight to behold. We had our first frost last night as Old Man Winter tries to make his first appearance.

Sending you loves and hugs, Marti

Living simply and calmly in the mountains!

Marti Sis!

Gosh, I can honestly tell you from the bottom of my heart, I feel your absences.

Your poetry touches, informs, and entertains ~ and you yourself spread Light and warmth in your thoughtful and caring replies.

Thank you for such a loving reply this grand fall day. There was poetry in your words. It was also good to hear a bit about what is going on with you, my friend. I have been thinking of you!

With love and lots of affection,
Linda

That was especially kind of you to say! Thank you!

It was a very pleasant surprise to hear from you! I had been wondering where you have been! I was about to send out a posse of "angels" to search for you and bring you back!

Sweetie, you are too kind. I miss being here but I do pop in and read the poetry. As you know it is hard for me to type and cognitive issues keep me from writing like I used to.

Please know I am here and reading and you dear friend, are in my heart.

I miss you lots, Marti
