God's Love
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Veils are lifting around the world,
And the eyes of Man can now see.
~Beyond the barriers of once closed minds,
And into the Face of All Be.

God knows of the burdens in every heart,
~In each mind and body and soul.
His Wisdom and Love are there for us,
For healings to make us all whole.

He is the Shepherd ~ and we are His sheep,
But the flock goes often astray.
If forgiveness is asked, from a genuine heart,
God listens to what we do pray.

StarsStars

For all of our pains and sorrows,
God is there to lessen our load.
By loving Our Father as He does us,
His Love will Light up our Road.


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

Thank you, Angel!  I love your gentle reminders that He is everpresent.  The poem is gorgeous!

The art you illustrate your poetry with is beautiful.  One look, and it is spring everyday!  Have a beautiful day.

Thank you, Linda.  I needed to read this tonight.  Love is sometimes a heavy load to carry - perhaps only God can do it.

A beautiful read my friend.

Bunches of Honey ~

I'm sorry to hear that your load is heavy this night. Perhaps if you were to give some of it over to God, He would lighten that load for you.

Sending you a loving hug,
Linda

Ceinwyn ~

It pleases me that my poems often meet your poetic needs. However, it pleases me not when the need for reading some of those poems arises due to you experiencing difficult times in your life, my sweet friend.

And here is a for you as well!

Light & God's Love,
Linda
