On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove
On the wings of a snow-white dove.
He sends His pure sweet love.
A sign from above.
On the wings of a dove.
This was a country gospel song that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl. In my research
I've found that a lot of artists have recorded this song, but I believe I am correct with it being written by Bob Ferguson.
Do you remember this old song?

A Suggestion To The Poet
The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life ... The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!
– John Burroughs
I do believe John Burroughs was very wise and truly gifted with words!
I saw this verse and was moved by its truth.
