 When All Seems Lost by Linda L. Dowd +*+*+*+*+*+ When all seems lost and all is dreary, When faith does slip and eyes are teary, When feeling down and oh so weary, ~*~ There comes a spark that lights the flame, And once again, you’re in the game! +*+*+*+*+*+ ~ |

Yes, my beautiful Linda, this is so true, we never should despair. Love taps on our shoulders and whispers "I am here, right here with you". Sooo beautiful, dearest Poetess, and of course you know how much I like the picture you choose! Love and hugs. Margherita   "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Linda...If I didn't know better I would say this was written with me in mind, then I would have to blame you for the tears I now cry. Bless you dear lady and know that you are a special person...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Margherita ~ my Maga Dolphina But of course I knew that you would love that painting. I would have given the artist his/her due, but I do not know who it is. You look so cute playfully rising out of the sea and up into the air! and to U 2,Angelo Terrestre |

Misty Lilacs ~ I'm sorry to hear that you "needed to read this", dear Marti. I hope the words were of some comfort to you. It's curious that you should ask about our Mistletoe Angel as I recently sent an email to Noah and have not received a response to it as of yet. He didn't respond to the one I sent several weeks ago, either! ~ Which is so unlike him. I hope that today has been a better day for you. With love and a warm hug, Linda |

So true are your words and you said them well. Motivation takes but a spark to ignite into a full fledged flame when the right fuel is used. |
