if i didn't see a single star in the night sky
if i didn't see a moonlit glow to guide me home
it does not mean that you're not there
if i never taste a raindrop on the tip of my tongue
if i never taste my mom's amazing home cooking
if i never taste a kiss from my future soul mate
it does not mean that you're not there
if i could not hear the sweetest bird's song
if i could not hear the roaring thunder
if i could not hear "amazing grace"
it does not mean that you're not there
if i never touch the soft petal of a gerber daisy
if i never touch the hand of a loved one
if i never touch the wing of a butterfly
it does not mean that you're not there
if i could not smell the sweet baby's breath
if i could not smell the scent of spring
if i could not smell the fragrance of a yellow rose
it does not mean that you're not there
because my heart knows that you are there

This piece touched me deeply.
It speaks so directly to the endurance of Faith... & how we can't simply stop believing when Life presents us with a succession of colorless days or dismal nights of deep discouragement & doubt.
I loved this poem because it was penned by a hopeful, JOY-filled heart.
Much Love, CD.
SJ!
One.
Thank you my friend,
I was leaving out for work this morning and I'm somewhat a creature of habit. I always look to the sky and see His moon or stars; most times, the big dipper. And although it's 4:30, if you listen closely, you can hear the bird's song.
I smile as I'm getting into my car and I say, "Good morning God."
But this morning there was no moon, there were no stars and I heard absolutely nothing. Without realizing it, I was talking to God as i was driving and then began to record a poem on my iPhone. I started to cry in the middle and had to turn it off.
Without finishing it, I wiped my tears and began to smile. He knows my heart and I know His. I prayed and continued on into the office.
Yes, I'm filled with Hope and ENDless Joy!
Love and peace,
China

Thank you My Lady,
Taking photos is another one of my many passions. I have almost 10,000 on my iPad.
Just recently decided to make greeting cards with some and it's lots of fun. Love sending personalized cards with images that I captured with my very own eyes.
Love freezing the moment and looking back, knowing exactly where I was and what I was feeling.
Love ya!
Thank you Wynn,
I wrote on a postcard in Sept of 2011, "God is preparing me for something."
I still have no clue as to what it is, but trusting, studying and increasing my FAITH walk is what I'm being told until I'm given my assignment :-)
Love for a great day!
China
