White Dove of Beauty White dove of beauty , feathers of pearl Let all the heartache within you unfurl Pause for these moments, the soul needs to mourn And let your tears fall in the wake of the storm White dove of grace, you have soared to the heights In red and gold sunsets on warm summer nights Giving life to the colors and sails to the breeze To carry your loveliness over the trees White dove of song, you have sung me to sleep You have wakened the dawning when blue shadows creep Into the eyes of the one who’s been blessed By an angel dove offering the warmth of her nest White dove of loneliness, now is your day To feel God at work while the world kneels to pray Await in the shadows of sorrow and pain Then come out in glory days after the rain Hold onto friendships , my hand tightly press The one that you offered through all my distress Oh, white dove , how lovely your message and song The shadows will pass when the sun comes along White dove of reverence , new songs will depart How deep is the love and the strength of your heart Prayers are with you, Rebecca Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (09-07-2002 02:57 PM).] |

Oh Liz, your soul is as soft as the down of that dove as you wrap Rebecca in your caring and loving wings. If you had not understood her pain, you could never have written from your soul like this to hers. May it comfort her to know that she has you there to lean on. Beautiful my friend. The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it. |

May the tragedy that has passed and the more recent near tragedy bring all of your family members closer together in love and in prayer. You all need each other to heal and now more than ever. My prayers are with your entire family and with you, as you cntinue on one day at a time. If any good has come from this is a new respect for the importance and worth of each family member to all. Thank you, Rebecca letting us know your needs, for there's nothing more powerful than prayer, coming from people all over th world Many hugs to you, dear Rebecca Liz |

Page 2? NO SIR! :P This is such a beautiful message of comfort to our WhiteDove, the one who has given all of us so much comfort in the past. Allow me to add my prayers to the chorus that is surely floating to Heaven in your favor, Rebecca, although I can't beat Liz's!! Most of us go to our grave with our music still inside of us. |
