Dove Love: A Collection of Poems
()
About this ebook
When you hear a mourning dove cooing softly in the morning, it might be a reminder of the Holy Spirit, to comfort you.
He is as close as a whisper in your ear. O, my Dove, my Beloved, I trust You, by faith, to be my Comforter and to be with me forever. Breathe your gentleness back into my broken heart and into my dry bones. I lift my head toward the Light, my Jesus, the only one who gave his life for me. I am renewed, equipped and free to tell the story of the journey to heaven, given to me through an abundant treasure of words, like choice pearls of wisdom.
Carolyn Burroughs Dixon
Carolyn Burroughs Dixon said good-bye to her 24 yr. old daughter after an automobile accident. Words of poetry began to come to her mind first thing every morning, words that were comforting and healing to her in a time of grief. More than twenty years later, she has put together a collection of these poems, hoping to help others who are grieving. She is happy in God’s blessings in her retirement from office work. She feels that God has brought her to the right place at the right time and the right church. She is enjoying every precious moment she can spend with her son and his family, who live nearby.

Resident Dove
26372.pngListen, the dawn comes, and I think I hear
That resident dove cooing in my ear
A comforting sound reminds me of love
Could be he has a message from above
Quiet morning, soothing familiar sound
Sunlight glows on that rose-mauve chest so round
Gathering angels with fluttering wings
White dove foreshadows joy of glory sings
Come, Holy Spirit perch at my window
Bringing His presence and let the wind blow
Dove of Peace is waiting with loving care
Holding onto faith until we get there
I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove…
John 1:32
