Moss may grow on the north side of tree, But it cannot grow under the feet of me, For I am forever moving here and there Traveling about everywhere. But I do find time for quiet reflection, And pray in church in genuflection. But then I am off to see the world. ~ Each day a new leaf to be unfurled. My blood does flow like sap in tree, Coursing through the flesh of me. I brim with life from sky and land, ~ Nurtured by God’s loving Hand. Each day provides blessings for me, Chances to learn, and grow ~ and be. And the hardest lessons along the way, Were eased whenever I would pray. When by myself, I am never alone, For God has been with me as I have grown. And with His angels close by my side, I ebb and flow with life's ocean tide.

Yes - blessed are those who know they're not alone but why do we so often forget? |

Ah Linda - you do inspire. What sweet spirit you reveal - thanks for the Sunday morning smile - Hugs - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Bunches of Honey ~ Yes, that is so true. Ofttimes it is only when one is desperate that they may turn to God, not ever acknowledging His presence the remainder of the time. Love & God Light, EA |

Ethome ~ Aha! You caught me! lol "Genuflect" means on "bended knee" but I added the "ion" so it would rhyme with "reflection". Can't fool a fooler! I enjoyed reading your reply! Thank you, Eric! Linda |
