This is another poem that John, from John's Island wrote for me. As I mentioned in my last Monday's post, John and I followed each other's blogs years ago when I was at Linda's Peaceful Place. He is a very kind and talented man! John, a heartfelt thanks for writing this beautiful poem, I really appreciate it, as well as your friendship!

Linda, your blog is a warm, gentle breeze,
With wisdom and quotes that comfort and please.
From smoothies to sayings, your thoughts gently flow,
Like rivers of kindness that help spirits grow.

Your photos and smiles light up the day,
And nudge all our worries gently away.
So thanks for the joy at June’s sweet end—
You're sunshine in pixels, my blogging friend! ☀️🌿📷
