Wings of Faith
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

StarsStars
On wings of faith, the human spirit,
Traverses all life travails.
~Flying free in a cerulean sky,
Crossing seas with billowing sails.

With courage, all can be conquered.
~There’s no burden too heavy to bear.
There’s no mountain too steep to scale.
There is hope instead of despair.

Believe in a Higher Power,
And that we are never alone.
We are safe in uncharted waters,
If we follow the Path we are shown.

On wings of faith, the human spirit,
Traverses all life travails.
~Flying free in a cerulean sky,
Crossing seas with billowing sails.


“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

On the wings of a dove...

Thank you for the prayer this morning I find in this poem, and for the sweet benevolence you leave me in  your comment on my poem "Reflection."

Ooops, I just improved it (hopefully!) and now see that you have already saved it! lol

My poems are always works in progress until the editing time allowed comes to an end!

Whenever you save a poem of mine, I know that it is going to a good home!

Love to you, my friend,
Linda

Goldenrose ~

No matter what I have gone through in life, my mind and spirit have always been strong. However, it has been my body where I have been most vulnerable. It seems that it is at those times I tend to write most of my spiritual poems.

Perhaps if I wrote them as often when I am well, God wouldn't be giving me so many physical challenges! lol

I appreciate your kind words. Thank you!

Keep the faith!

Hi, Noah!

I truly believe that my faith and keeping a positive attitude can get us through all of life's challenges. Even if we don't get the results that we pray for, it's all part of the Divine Plan and will ultimately turn out for our Higher good. If not in this lifetime, then perhaps the next!

It is friends like you who keep me smiling!


Linda

I have a confession to make. *S* I saw this on the list yesterday... but I saved it for today... knowing I'd need a lift today... knowing your words would provide it. *S*

This would be beautiful to read at any time... but your look within and the radiance of your faith is so greatly appreciated on this first of his birthdays "without". *S* I thank you, sweet lady...
