With hand in hand, and hearts entwined
they knew the smile of fate
Their love was written in the stars
Each soul had found it’s mate...

Through passing years, the smiles and tears
became a bond of love
A love that lives beyond life’s door
returning in a dove...

Her beloved husband passed away
too soon, too suddenly
And as she stood beside his bed
though gone, he helped her see...

~~ a dove ~~

a symbol to us all
of love so pure and true
On wings of white, in peaceful flight
onto their roof it flew...

The service passed, with friends and family
bidding sad farewell
She left the little chapel in the town
where they had dwelt...

Her sister’s strength protected
as the car drove slowly home
A shield against the times ahead
when she would be alone...

At driveway’s end, she gazed upon
the old familiar sight
Their peaceful home, it’s silence broken
by a bird in flight...

On wings outstretched, it flew towards
the car parked in the drive
And in her heart she felt his love
knew it was still alive...

She watched the dove fly straight
onto the roof above her door
Her love had sent this promise:
“I will leave you nevermore”

She felt his spirit cover her
a blanket of his love
And peace became the gift he gave
his message in a dove...


This is a true story, one of life's mysteries that we are privileged to witness rarely in our daily lives.My dear friend's sister very recently lost her husband, her soul mate for many years. They were inseperable during their lives together.
The day he passed away at the hospital, the dove was seen immediately after his death.And after his farewell service, when she arrived home, the same dove was seen as she pulled into the drive.It, to my knowledge, is still living on the roof of her home.
Doesn't this make you wonder?



Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, this beautiful poem had me flooding in tears, my heart goes out to your friends' sister's loss of her husband but I know this just has to be a sign. (BIG HUGGGSSSSS) Oh my gosh, when the time is right, you must share this with her for I truly believe his loves spirit is that dove and is crooning words of unforgetable love and promises to her forever and ever! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a golden heart of a dove too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sunnyone, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, thank you so very much, and although I have never met the lady, I will pass on your thoughts to her sister, who is a very dear friend. It will mean a lot, thankyou  

WhiteRose, thank you also, and I know that this little miracle has given me new insight into the fact that love is much stronger than we, as humans, will ever know.



Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!

thankyou, Enchantress, and yes, it is a very real story of fact. My dear friend just called me today, because she was so amazed by this happening. What is so unusual about this, is that doves are not common in England. I leave you with that, and once again, thank you!

SunnyOne~
It's wonderful to have you back with us ... and this is a lovely story you share poetically~

Does it make me wonder ?  Not really ... I learned a long time ago that the spirit is a marvelous thing that flies on the wing of many earth-creatures~

Love your telling ... thanks for sharing~

I thought this was absolutely superb even before I read that it was true. *S* Knowing that your poem is based on actual happenings just makes it more tenderly beautiful. *S*
