Very timely for 2025, esp. now. Doves are surely weeping crocodile tears. Thanks, Beryl.

Sorry for being late reply to your much appreciated comment Gershon. Doves will be weeping their tiny hearts out with what’s happening in the world. Thank you, Beryl

Beryl, my take from this is that they are always there. We only have to know how to look. You are incredibly sweet and only bring smiles to us.

Hi sister Beryl, with all that's going on in the world today those doves are certainly crying.

your rhyme scheme was so smooth and non-obtrusive, Beryl. I agree 'their musicality is a calm balms--like listening to a hymn without words. Well done! I feel soothed after reading your words. Have a pleasant evening, Yellow Rose
