The Little White Dove
In Loving Memory of a Precious Baby. A poem of love, loss, and Heaven.
A little white dove flew into the sky,
With wings so gentle, it seemed to glide.
It carried a love too precious for earth,
A beautiful soul of immeasurable worth.
Tiny hands we longed to hold,
A lifetime of dreams left untold.
No first steps taken, no lullabies sung,
Yet a love so deep had already begun.
God called you home before we were ready,
Leaving our hearts forever changed.
And though we never got our forever,
Our love for you will always remain.
So when a white dove passes by,
We'll look toward the Heavens high.
And think of the child we long to see, Safe in God's arms, forever free.
For you were here, you were loved,
Forever our baby. Forever our love. Forever our little white dove.
