The Feather of a White Dove

I clung to your embrace
As your last breathe fled
Into the heavens bliss

Upon the feather of a white
Dove

Oh gently did the feather
Sail
Through the wind
Descending into the heavens

I think the heavens cried that
Day

For the clouds just rumble as
The tears started to pour

I thought I seen a beautiful white
Dove

Just perched upon your shoulder
As I clung to your embrace

Your last breathe silently fled
Upon the feather of the white dove

Oh gently did the feather sail

As the clouds began to rumble
And the tears overflowed

As you descended so gracefully
Into the heavens bliss

On the feather of a white dove
