Cloud Gazing ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ +*+*+*+*+*+ My gazing eyes look to heavenly skies, And are awed by the bright angel blue. Dabbles of stratus and cirrus clouds, And fluffy white cumulus too. Swirling, twirling, into magical forms, They stir my imagination. ~ Castles, and dragons, and unicorns, Are all of my mind’s creation. +*+*+*+*+*+ |

(smiles) Yay! Oh Linda, this is just too cute, dearest friend, I always love to cloud-gaze on warm spring, summer and autumn days when there's a gentle breeze out, sometimes my sisters joining me too to find kittens and doves and unicorns with butterfly wings in the skies, yay! (does happy cloud hop) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is sooooooo joyous, 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 "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

Well now, Linda, I always thought my castles in air were real and you've proved it for me. Isn't it amazing that other people can't see what we see in the clouds? |

EarthyOne~ Delightful ! *giggling* ... as I showed it to Delaney ... and we went out back to 'cloud gaze' ... bless her little heart ... she looked, looked, gazed, gazed ... finally she said, "Poet, it looks like when Landry spills her milk !" ..

Oh, Marge! This is a triple P of a reply for me! ~ precious, precious, precious! Thank you for sharing that Delaney story with me. It's very special. Here is one for you. ~ My little Mikey was sitting on my lap and his leg 'fell asleep'. He jumped off my lap excitedly saying, "My leg had a heart attack! My leg had a heart attack!" Aren't children wonderful! Loveya! Linda |
