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

all comments please

Certificate U
Story
Love

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! ~&

New Beeme 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.
