Ruby Red, toboggan on her head, Loved every creature God would send. The first came, with a little wing lame, For Ruby Red to nurse and tend. This little white dove did Ruby love And soon his wing did mend! He'd fly right above Ruby's head, this dove, And they became the best of friends. Then one day it was time to fly away, The dove knew cold comes with the winter winds. But before he went, to Ruby he sent A feather to say, “I'll be back again!”

Such a charming, delightful read dear Crystol. Fell in love with the little white dove - the friendship so pure. The last line was especially heartwarming. Arr! I’m so glad I read this tonight. Put a big smile on my face. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and blessings xx
