Angel bird feeder
There are two Doves upon it
Doves do mate for life
So, in this, my lonely hour
Hope, and a hug from my God

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Wonderful! *applause*
I absolutely love the Tanka format, and was going to use it for the answer to this challenge, but mine was lame.

I see you took my advice, it's much nicer now that the tenses are more co-ordinated.

A marvelous Tanka and a great answer to the challenge.

ellie,

Though I have no doves;
Hope, and a hug from my God
to you my dear friend....
in returned salutations
upon the wings of angels.

You have written a very sincere Tanka. Bob <><

Ellie I find this one sad.

That smile shown you was a Hug from God.
That sun that shined on you was a Hug from God.

And for some reason today in another reply to you, I said Hugs from God. Little did I know why I wrote that. Look what's come from it! A bunch of hugs from God, meant just for you m'friend.

((((((HUGS))))))
