Wings of Silence

My hearts cry for a companion lost as one waits for life to return to the lifeless body of fallen grace Tears flow as innocence has died her feathers of silk shrinking to a non-existence colorless world Her lost of life saddens my heart and soul, but I am uplifted knowing God’s hand touches His creatures… during their moment of death
Author’s Note: Inspired by an email sent to me about the mate of a dead Swallow standing by her side realizing she is gone. He calls for her as he mourns his loss. Sadness touches my heart as I feel his loss...rg

I am surprised people doubt that animals possess souls. The is beautiful and sad.

I believe God loves all little and big animals He created for our earth. I believe in animal heaven - thus, I believe animals have souls. I know my little kitty 'Gracie' does for sure. Thank you for the caring comment. Your words mean a lot to me...rg
