Mourning for Doves

Mourning for Doves

Morning, Dove!

Mama Dove-

Oh boy!

Such Joy!

So close

So sure

So safe

So secure.

Too cute – two cute!

So soft

So sweet

So warm.

I greet

But stay away

To do no harm.

Yet

Despite this vow, her

Broken nest is empty now.

Feathers abound,

The crime scene, surround.

Once again

Tears fall

As I call,

“Mama Dove!”

Mourning dove.

Mourning for Doves
by: Julie

I thought I couldn't cry any more tears this month with all the deaths in the news....until now.
That was truly a heartfelt poem and my heart felt it. Thank you for sharing.
