The Christmas Dove Little smiles of happiness await the special day Little eyes of wonder look at visions on display Little hearts anticipating stockings filled with love All will happen in the waking of the Christmas Dove The Chistmas Dove starts gathering the little children’s prayers Of special gifts that they will find when they come down the stairs He carries them on wings of white to heavens up above This is the duty God assigned the little Christmas Dove He perches on the window sill as child says a prayer Then flies away up high into the crystal midnight air Laden with the massages of wishes from afar God takes each one and places it within a loved ones heart Little feet of tiptoe soft step down the stairway slow Christmas lights and tinsel make their little faces glow Little hearts aware that there is love beneath the tree Waiting for their little hands to find them anxiously No matter rich or poor the home, the love is all the same And God provides a Christmas gift inscribed with each child’s name A wish for just one gift of love is granted through a prayer And little children find their dreams are waiting for them there Unaware the wintery snow and wind of icy chill And little Christmas Dove who's watching from the window sill Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 11-15-2000).] |

This poem was great. Hit the spot today...... a lovely trip back into the once was of christmas holiday....   I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Liz, this is such a beautiful piece. I love how you represented all of the joy and hope of Christmas into such a beautiful animal. I have a pet dove, and I know how beautiful and graceful they are. I hope the Christmas dove visits you 2394734 times!!! False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

What a heart-warming poem. As I read it, I remembered all the Christmases past when I was a little girl tip-toing down the stairs, my hands anxiously waiting to see what they could unwrap. A very precious poem indeed. |
