God’s Creatures

January 21, 2023

One day I was blessed by a symbol of love
On the fence near our holly so still and serene,
God’s beauty and grace in the form of a dove
Amidst the red berries and leaves brilliant green.

When Lucy spied it, perhaps heard it coo,
She stood very still as she watched near the ledge.
She patiently watched it until the dove flew.
She seemed sad when it left, disappeared near a hedge.

I think she remembers each day near the fence,
She looks up to see if the dove will return.
Although she keeps looking, we’ve not seen him since.
I’m always amazed at how quickly she learns.

God’s creatures amaze me the big and the small.
Each one is unique. He created them all.
