Conversing doves, cooing high above; in mornings, opening eyes; ordering their fledglings breakfast. Doves have no talent for building but, they’re better parents than most humans. Vigilant loving care is the art of the dove. Their eggs will hatch and wings will fly; do or die nothing will divert a parental dove’s eye; it stays on solid course. Doves stay near, enough to hear and see and three hundred sixty degree views will, catch a deadly predator’s eye; little doves will survive. With no corruption, in their realm, t though weary doves are at the helm; off young ones will fly. They mate for life; endure great strife; for years they will survive. Playing dumb, is loads of fun, but doves are very wise; observation tells the tale; to learn from them, is very nice; watch close and you will be surprised on a huge scale.

I had no idea they mate for life, I knew that wolves did but this was a surprise. Nice scientific lesson in the form of a beautiful poem, my friend. Well done. And the fact they make better parents than some human parents - no surprise there.

For two years I had the thrill of watching a family of doves, hatch, raise and train their offspring. They built a twig or two, as a nest on my AC. Of course, the twigs blew away fast but, there there sat in the early spring frost and winds. They are amazing parent's.
