Mourning Dove In Fine Array

Mourning dove perched with your black and white collar. Black eyes, ebony, slender beak accent your dull grey sheen on downey feathers. Dressed perfectly by the creator for summer's heat or winter's blustery chill. Reminding me of your love and protection promised a long time ago. Keep my eyes on you dear lord and praise in my heart and tongue.

I am feeling the urge to go back and read poetry from earlier writing of my favorite poets today and this is the one I opened of yours Doris. I truly enjoyed reading it today and it is one of your best. Love, Carol

Doris - Please forgive my untimely response - Since starting Collage at 49 I'm overwhelmed as far as time goes - Wonderful comparison in this poem - The Lord has most certainly blessed my life in ways even I don't understand - God Bless, mj
