I Am Creative and Kind
by Linda L. Dowd

I am creative and kind.
I wonder about other worlds beyond our planet Earth.
I hear angels sing whenever I watch children at play.
I see my departed grandmother
  whenever I am in need of love and guidance.
I want to always do the best that I can do
  ~ and be the best that I can be.
I am creative and kind.

I pretend that I can fly high and free with the eagles.
I feel as though my path ~ albeit difficult at times,
  is one according to Divine Plan.
I touch misty-coloured rainbows that brighten rainy days.
I worry that I will fall short of my potential.
I cry when I think of all the injustices in this world.
I am creative and kind.

I understand that all that glitters is not gold.
I say that all good things worth having
  ~ are worth working for.
I dream of other lands and of lifetimes past.
I try to encourage others to dare dream big
  and believe that they have the power within them  
to manifest those dreams into reality.
I hope that with my last breath I am able to say, “I walked my talk”.
I am creative and kind.

To walk one's talk, that is ever elusive it seems. Very good sentiments describing a beautiful soul.

Your passion for living glows and leaves a rainbow of dreams in vibrant color. When they speak upon the page we are also caught in the magic and slide right into a heart of gold.     Thank you for sharing.

Hi, CG! I try my best to "walk my talk" ~ but I must admit, that I stumble from time to time! ~ But I pick myself up! Dust myself off! ~ and hopefully get back on track!

Good morning, Bobby!

There are times when that 'walk' is
a lot harder than the 'talk'! ~ But
I try!

Have a great day!

My favorite Angelo Linda, what a treat you are! You are most certainly all the things you convey here and more, much more. You are an uncontainable force of love and light and bliss and brilliance.

It is such a pleasure to read also your replies, no one does it better, believe me.  May your faith, your fantastic personality and your creativity always guide you through any difficult moments that you might encounter on your Path.

Love you,
Margherita

My goodness gracious, my Dear Dolphina! That is a keeper of a reply if I ever read one!

You honour me, Maga Margherita! I thank you from the bottom of my appreciative heart!

I love who you are and all that you represent!
