There was an early morning greeting
from a soft, sweet turtle dove
resting on my deckside railing
sending messages of peace and love.
Yes, the day seems cold and dreary
but take a look below.
Is that a deer quietly moving
through the night’s collected snow?
Happy Thanksgiving from me to you
and add a message from the dove.
Take time to look with a dove’s eye view
for a world of peace and love.
