Description

The dove is generally used a symbol of peace. In a religious setting, such as this tombstone at Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, it may also be an image of purity, the soul, or the Holy Spirit.
In ancient times the dove was sacred to the Greek god Zeus, to Athena as a symbol of the renewal of life, and to Aphrodite as a symbol of love.

Fly, fly little wingFly beyond imaginingThe softest cloud, the whitest doveUpon the wind of Heaven’s lovePast the planets and the starsLeave this lonely world of oursEscape the sorrow and the painAnd fly again Fly, fly precious oneYour endless journey has begunTake your gentle happinessFar too beautiful for thisCross over to the other shoreThere is peace forever moreBut hold this memory bittersweetUntil we meet
Fly, fly do not fearDon’t waste a breath, don’t shed a tearYour heart is pure, your soul is freeBe on your way, don’t wait for meAbove the universe you’ll climbOn beyond the hands of timeThe moon will rise, the sun will setBut I won’t forget Fly, fly little wingFly where only angels singFly away, the time is rightGo now and find the light.
Fly — Celine Dion
