doves brought the dream catcher

Doves brought the dream catcher to the young boy The day he lost his parents His mother by murder His father by incarceration His grandmother, who was from the Crow nation understood the doves She was impressed that the Great Father had sent them The boy was only eight He did not appreciate the gift at the time As the boy grew he learned of his tribal spirituality The dream catcher was in his window To remind him that his mother continued to live In the clouds, sea, air, and earth He told the story of how the dream catcher was delivered To his children, and their children, and their children It meant the world to them all A reminder of his sainted mother
