A Dove in His Hand
A Poem by
Melinda McQueen
Flying
solo through life,
Searching
for my way.
Heavy
is the strife
That
seems to be my stay.
Though
the wind blows,
It catches
not my sail.
I can’t
do it on my own,
A dove
in His hand, I am frail.
Lean
I on Him,
For He
protects me
As a
precious gem.
The Lord
Holy.
As the
sky is vast,
So too,
are His plans.
I shall
never lack,
I’m
a dove in His hand.

Thank you for your visit. God bless.
We are his children and also at the top of his list of creations. We may be held in one of his hands while the dove is in the other.

Lovely write. The dove in hand implies it's wounded or unable to care for itself. I think we are all a bit like that, in some ways, I think.

Beautiful and hopeful words dear Poet.
"As the sky is vast,
So too, are His plans.
I shall never lack,
I’m a dove in His hand."
Good to be the dove of God. Thank you Melinda for sharing the excellent poetry.
