The ALL That There BE
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+
One of the gifts
that God has given to me,
Is my passion for writing
Divine poetry.
Through words that are printed
on pages of white,
A world steeped in Darkness
becomes one of Light.

He guides every stroke
of my angel-quill pen.
He speaks of Man’s spirit
which is without end.
He created Mankind
as a reflection of He,
But the image has tarnished
and is returning to sea.

Hark, hear the angels
and their clarion calls
These messengers of God
sing from His hallowed halls
These songs are of peace
and of harmony and love
These blessings of joy
come from Our Father above.

He’s the Alpha/Omega
~the Beginning and End.
He’s the tunnel of Light
that we see ‘round the bend.
He’s the Land, Sea, and Sky
~He’s the A to the Zee!
God’s all around us
~He’s the ALL that there BE.
+*+*+*+*+*+

This was a poem that I had hoped you would see! I knew that you would understand where I was writing from. In fact, I almost emailed it to you yesterday, then thought to myself, that if jo is to read it, she will! I guess the Universe was listening and guided you to this post.

Thank you for your warm response!

Love & Light  ~ & Hugs of love,
