Last Night I Saw A Dove, , , Poem by Betty Keck

Last night I saw a dove
returning to its nest
Gentle little dove
needing a place to rest.

It had a wounded wing
and lost its lively zeal
Come home, the master said
your faith will help you heal.

Master used the Spirit
healing with holy power
Now flying in splendor
this its finest hour.

Again I saw a dove
flying toward the sky
Heaven's gate opened wide
eagerly it did fly.

Welcome home, my child
breathed angels of love
For you, my dear child
are the gentle dove.
