Message from a Dove

We took a journey of love,

looking at clouds flying above.

You and I together,

the world at our feet.

From majestic mountains,

to meadows with the brightest flowers.

From busy cities,

to quiet country villages.

The stars and the moon,

followed along,

they lit up lovely fountains –

that we found along the way.

Came the day when we went to Italy,

there like the lovers we were,

we looked upon the wonders of Rome,

making wishes in its magical fountains.

In Venice where we strolled the squares,

hand in hand,

sweet kisses along the way,

then in a gondola,

we sat back –

to look upon the sky and dream.

These magical daydreams followed us,

for a lifetime long,

until the angels sent a dove.

with a heavenly message –

for now, we had to say farewell.

You had to fly while I stayed behind,

now dreaming of white doves in the sky

and knowing one day together again we’ll be.

A soft breeze caressed my cheek,

by my feet a feather I did see.

Looking up toward the skies,

I saw a dove fly by,

I kept following its flight,

until it disappeared into the blue.

Then I picked up the feather

and whispered, “I remember too”.
