that it is the time to let fly away. Will I be able to ever so gently push and watch you go in softest swoosh. Can the moment of your life then be not filled with our painful memory? Can I give you that softest of touch in spite of how I love you so much? Can my dove, my bird now soar free? Free of bonds, yet still ever loving me. Will I be able to hold and then kiss her head...as I whisper that she I miss. Does a bird have to fly to feel love Can it be so easy for a fragile dove? Does my soft heart have the toughness as this love, my dove does egress? In the heart of a small white dove lies the remnant of a once true love. Left inside to let go of the bird’s nest Knowing in two hearts, it is for the best. Fly my dove, fly into the bluest sky Let not a tear shed fall from an eye. Know that a heart will forever love cherish and hold my small white dove. [This message has been edited by Magnus (02-28-2002 05:58 PM).] |

Magnus A very touching poem. Sometimes it's so hard to let go. Sometimes it is the best way to show love. |

is this a father sending a child on its own? That's what I sensed..*s Although letting go of any love is hard to do M |

Martie...thank you...yes it could be very hard... Maureen...A child....yes...once I had to do just that...but this is about once long ago. And a C and W song...can't remember the name inspired me to write it.. |

Floria...yes and no...I felt these feelings once with my daughter Sherri...when she first left home... It is also about a love from decades ago...and I do mean decades....lots of them...OH boy...now I am giving away some of my secrets....I was an incurable romantic as a teen too...But that wasn't what she was looking for... Maybe I need to write a poem about that one....hmmmm??? |
