The Dove In My Pocket

My oldest son Billy gifted me with this poem after Sammy passed away. I treasure this poem and it resides inside my purse to accompany me wherever I go.

The Dove in my Pocket

This dove in my pocket

Goes with me everywhere

This dove is a reminder

That someone really cares.

God sent His son Jesus

For both you and me

He died upon the cross

at Calvary

A sacrafice of God's love

Which sent the Holy Spirit from above.

This dove is a symbol

Of God's wonderful grace

When He took Jesus to heaven

He sent the Holy Spirit in His place.

This dove is a comfort

When I need to see

The precious Holy Spirit

That dwells inside of me.

Sometimes I feel discouraged

By life's uncertainties

But when I put my hand in my pocket

I remember His Spirit in me.

This dove is not a charm

Nor is it a protector from all harm

There is no majic in this dove

It is just a reminder to me

Of His special love.

"Lo I am with thee always"

Matthew 28:20
