The Dove's Song

A little dove came
To my window today,
Her tiny eyes blinking
The snowflakes away,
She called to my inner child,
"Come out and play!
Christmas is coming,
Just look and see
The sparkles that God put
On my Christmas tree!"

The sun in the trees,
gave life to the snow,
It danced and it glittered
on each branch and bough;
As the happy dove flew
Through the wonderland there,
She offered her song,
And bright wisdom to share:
'Coorage!' she sang,
With all of her might,
The drops of your kindness
Shed a most precious light;

Let your heart heed the cry,
Of the dove hovering near:
Charge the air with your smiles,
Cast away useless fear;
Let the light of your laughter
Pierce through the gray;
Fill the world with your sparkle,
Let your inner child play
As you gaze with fresh eyes
Through God's window today.
