Dove Love

The shell of life has broken And released him to the dawn Mother dove is smiling At the beauty of her spawn She plucks a feather from her wing And lays it in the nest She pulls her baby close to her And holds him to her breast A gentle coo of love escapes And settles in her ear She rubs her beak behind his neck And wipes away his fears His eyes are barely open So he struggles hard to see The face of love that sits above And makes him feel so free She looks down at her abound She ruffles once or twice She fluffs it up, she makes it soft She makes it feel so nice She knows she'll have to watch him leave As seasons come to pass Just like she did a year ago She still recalls the last But till that day she'll line her nest With downy feathered love Until the time she sees her child Fly the skies above Rockman
