Notes About The Poem

Angel

All our loving years
Never slept on tiff or tears
Grasp this Snow White dove
En route to heaven above 
Leave the gate ajar, my love

Thanks Jan, If it helps, my first attempt was called CRUMB and was about toast and marmalade. I had to look up Tanka... toast and marmalade wasn’t it! ;-) Terry
