+*+*+*+*+*+*+* My eyes did see the unthinkable, My body knew the agonies of Hell. My heart feared the uncharted waters, My mind spun as if under spell. Tho' my eyes stung with tears of sadness, Tho' my body did sink into mire. My heart grew strong from adversity, And I rose from Hell's burning fire. My spirits were lifted by angels, I rejoice in being alive. Those trials will soon be behind me, As I begin to heal and thrive. |

A very good poem, flows real nice-- a great ending, "Those trials will soon be behind me, As I begin to heal and thrive." Grover. |

And what else would they be doing besides rescuing one of their own? *S* Especially since your guardian angel is due some penance for not taking better care of you! *S* |

Thanking Heaven for a very special 'angel' and for all His angels who watched over and protected you. It is sooooo good to see you posting again. Rest and be well. I didn't realize you have no email. I've been writing and sending you ecards all along. Just know you were in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya, Marti |

My spirits were lifted by angels, I rejoice in being alive. Those trials will soon be behind me, As I begin to heal and thrive. Linda Lou, I never doubted that you were one of the angels yourself. I'm so glad that you are back home with us, My sweet friend. I've missed you so much. With love and prayers for your complete healing, Ethel |

Beautiful and touching verses, dear Linda. After what you endured, the depth of joy and gratitude of feeling fine again reaches unknown heights. It's so good to hear that you are gaining strength and feeling so much better. The muse is with you no doubt! Love and hugs. Margherita |

I do not know what you have been going through, but this is beautiful...a song from an angel. Yes, there IS always hope even in the darkest of hours. |

~ Margherita, I have always felt a special connection with your poetry. So often I have thought, "Golly gee, IWTIHWT" (I wish that I had written that!) ~ Tavern Wrench, your pseudonym cracks me up! I think that most of us may have a bit of that in us somewhere! lol Welcome to Passions! By the way, I had written of my recent experiences in Discussions (see top of page). Then click on Announcements. You can catch up on the latest Pipster news! Enjoy! Love & Light, EA |

(whistles for all cherubs to come to me and give you group angel hug) Yay! Oh Linda, I truly believed that the other angels were saddened to see you hurt and were guiding you all the way through with their light of the moon, stars, and sun to see you giggle and fly again, yay! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, dearest friend, we will always be your friends to lift you up, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
