Symbol of Peace

Out of heaven,the good Lord made a garden that does not fade, each Spring,His season,to renew greeness with much grandeur to view; Robins,starlings and sparrows new, missel thrushes and blackbirds too, nestling and nuture,here for free just as He does,for you and me; With pure innocence that I love , the soft and simple collared dove, a fragile home of twigs and sticks on which she, precarious sits. This symbol of peace and love,to we on earth,from heaven above see more at Gen 8 and Mt 3:16 | Year Posted 2010

So innocently your words they flow and the collared dove especially, a bird I love , but dont know how they manage to nest on just a few twigs. We always had two that nested each year and their nestlings would always appear. Lovely words Brian with kindest thoughts Ann xx

I do enjoy the song of the dove when I am outside and sometimes I can hear them in the house. We have several kinds of doves in this area which each have a little different sound. I remember the dove sent out from the ark and it bringing an olive branch back. I enjoyed your work this morning. Sara
