My Tiny Cloud
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
There’s a tiny cloud in Heaven,
That God has saved for me.
It’s in a patch of angel blue,
~Amid a cosmic sea.

There's much for me to learn,
Down here on planet Earth.
~In time I’ll fly on angel wings,
To my spirit home of birth.

Until the time of my return,
I will do my best and pray.
I’ll respect all His Creations,
And give my thanks each day.
+*+*+*+*+*+

So this is what a nice, Canadian girl is doing up so very late ... or early ...
If I could touch a cloud,
what would it feel like?
Animals, ... Mountains, ...
castles, ... ramparts, ...towers, ...
filmy, fleecey cotton sheets? ...

Nancy ~

After I wrote the poem I set out on a mission to find the perfect picture. I thought that I would have to cut out a cloud in the sky of any picture that I could find. But I did not have to do a thing for this pic! ~ and you noticed! It is like a feather!

I think I had some divine help with this one!

Have a glorious day!

I have no doubt that tiny cloud exists for you,  Linda.

If only more people would respect other Earth's creatures...we would not be in this mess now.

Hi, Robert!

At times, by expressing ourselves with a KISS ~ keeping it simple, sweetheart ~ the meaning of our words have more impact and don't get 'clouded' in hyperbole! lol

It was good to hear from you!

I thought you might like to know you are at "Show and Tell" today, LOL.  My oldest granddaughter loved this, and their science project is about clouds, so with her little cotton experiment, she plans to read your poem (she always says they are written by a friend of her Gramma's and gives the name unless she wrote it herself, which she does.)  So today your tiny cloud will make a 2nd grade class smile wide, and yes, the word God will be said aloud!

That truly warms my heart! I wish I could be a butterfly in the class and watch her present her science experiment ~ and read my poem! And when she says "God", may her precious voice ring out loud and clear!

I appreciate you sharing this with me. Please give her a hug for me!

Tender-hearted Angel ~

It saddens me to hear that a boy has broken your heart. I know how that feels and it is a very painful experience. On the bright side, that leaves you free to explore another relationship when someone new comes along! You are such a pretty girl and you have such a warm, witty, and charming nature.

We do survive these downers ~ and hopefully we learn more about ourselves and what we really want in a man.

Sending you a loving, comforting hug,
Linda
P.S. Thank you for the kind words.
