Every Blessed Mile
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

While looking in my mirror,
I have visions of a younger me.
~ A girl with dreamy aspirations,
Who frolics fancy free.

I see blue eyes that are not jaded,
I see an innocence as pure as snow.
I see enthusiasm that is unbridled,
I see a traveler with miles to go.


The years have not been gentle,
I’ve had losses and I've known pain.
But I never let them wear me down,
For I knew the sun would follow rain.


~*~

The girl resides within me,
For she is my inner child.
Yet, still I grow with every step,
Down every blessed mile.


“We are borne of star dust,
and to the stars we shall one day return.”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Linda, this is beautiful. For a minute, I thought it was about me. It seems to me you have grown into a beautiful person. Inside and out.

Mr. T. ~

Oh, what a lovely gift of yourself that you have offered to my inner child!

Is there any chance that the invitation could be extended to my grown-up outer child?

Loves 'n hugs 'n smiley faces,

I think the beauty of your inner child
still shines strong.

I see her all the time in your word art.
