MY LITTLE WHITE DOVE True

No likes yet ♦

Oh!
My little white dove
taking flight
in the darkest night

Offering Peace
joy and love
all over the world
true it is only a card
from a long time friend

I put you on the mantlepiece
but it's slid down
in between the fireplace
I tried to get it back up
with a pin

I even have a little statue
from our wonderful daughter dear
holding out the dainty hand
with a dove of love

A Dove is an emblem of peace
love or sorrow
something sacred
or an occasion

Iv'e seen some more cards
now in the shops of Dove's
so maybe I'll get one to-morrow
but it will never
replace this one

Hi Julie,
this is such a sweet story, it really made me go
'ah.' It's such a shame when we loose something
special and close to our hearts. I know, because the
amount of things close to my heart I have lost, when
moving house.
Good work.
Jenny.

Hi Julie,
You asked what I had lost, well vinyl music records,
that hold dear memories for me. Also I have lost a
lot of precious jewellery, that I had from when I
was a teenager. Also photo's that were dear to my
heart. I had a beautiful dolls house, that was
especially made for me, even the furniture was made
for the dolls house. I never did find out what
happened to it.
Oh well I suppose it's just one of those things.
Anyway Julie, you have a good weekend aswell.
Jenny. xx

Julie! Have you ever heard a song on the radio you thought was just junk- an idiot a’ ranting and a’ raving the most stupid of lyrics- then heard it was one of your favourite artists and instantly you knew what a great song it was? Or someone sent you this stupid little present you just chucked into your wardrobe without even looking twice. Then suddenly realised it must be from that incredibly special person and how delightful, how infinitely precious!!

Wonder how many we've thrown away hey?

Thing is it's far more important who it's from! ~&

Thankyou for great compliments.
I have just done one called "I TRY"
most true,to life,or experiences good
or bad.Some I can put some I can't.I have only started a year now.
on here! At first I was impossible to
learn all.As used to go late in life,
Day centre,and writing groups aged from
16-80 taught by cards,images,20 words
then put into poem or story.Lots of other
things of groups use old new talents.
Here! I am on AbcTales.I share computer hubby,
not mine.Reader's on here,all love "The Song Of Songs" well into over thousand now,from Bible and
wedding,away where we went to year ago.Romance words
beautiful.Not my work.
Have a good week-end.Just read your Tea Leaf,so true.
I was told once,pills,never know? what the concoctions are made of.
even snakes venom.Well.Powerful to.Especially pills,when blue.

Thankyou lovley reply,yes,I hate
gory Rap,Or anyone who changes as a star
into another character,or in a film etc;
Rap we actually tried few of us,at day centre

line made up.But what fun,what a laugh all together

It was grannies unlucky colour.

were? left at xmas in front garden,never knew who
from to both of us in name.Or anonymous cards couple years.Get in touch.£5 blown up the pathway. But then I gardually got mix in so many,mainly church and groups.Who knows how we are blessed.
Iv'e received email 2nd one now.Don't know who?Name
1st I cancelled called Nails In The Fence. Poem
re; forgiveness in? and names forewarded from before?
Now a 2nd one called The Ugly Frog, very good.
Dancing Frogs,and Prince in the story,like a letter
foreward on to other's, I don't know who,well named
and list of other's peculiar,word is um circular.

have to wait till flu,gas maintenance man comes and cleans fire?
I had one of my brother's then in full "Buffalo" regalia that's,wear headress I am being corrected
by hubby ugh!
but we both managed to hook it back.This is a little
crack so small.Bewteen mantlepiece and wall.
what have you lost close to your heart,can you write
about it? I bought 2nd hand brooch,of Pearly King and
Queen in small car costume jewellery,very small,I gave it too my mum when she was alive,but she would
stick it in heavy clothes,broke pin,I thought took it
in have it mended 2nd hand shop,no! no where.I still
keep hunting for it.It was very cheap.
I see you are not new Abc, I am thinking you are.
I can't keep up new ones so good too.

WellI don't call myself a poet,
just if someone likes what I try
to do main thing, is to achieve
it better as I go along. Some days
are better some not so good.
What do they say practice makes
perfect, considering I couldn't
do a thing, it is just amazing.
In everything nearly I can do.
julie
thnk's to you, and all.
