Crystal Clear
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Into every life
some rain must fall,
And sad,
though it may seem,
There comes with it
a cleansing of,
One’s spirit
and life stream.

Impurities
are washed away,
~They flow towards
the sea,
Leaving waters
crystal clear,
So life is Light
~and free.

Yes indeed Linda...
and I am positive Martie will come through this just fine.

  in doing so, you touch my heart ~

Beautiful Earth Angel, Martie's sudden illness has made me realize just how much you all have come to mean to me. Hugs and Prayers for all but especially for Martie and Taylor. :-)

Thank you for this lovely poem for our beloved Martie - and for the accompanying photo of her - she is the rainbow (and if that isn't a rainbow - the colour) in so many of our lives!

It's a beautiful poem Linda and I am sure Martie will love it.

I am keeping her in my heart and prayers till her life is "light and free" again.

What would we do without the lovely rain, the gentle love that quenches the thirst of spirit, that holds the promise of life and vibrancy?  

Linda, sweet  earth angel, you say it so beautifully....for Martie.  

hugs

She is a blessing to this place, no doubt of it...and for so many reasons, beloved.

Beautiful Linda.
Bless you.
My prayers are with Martie.

Hugs to you my friend for a beautiful read,
hugs to Martie for full recovery.

man will not himself find peace."
