As the clear golden sun rises The doves' coos ring soft, true Songbirds are excited, chipper Maybe parenting is through Little ones have left the soft nest Maybe started families Of their own, will old birds start anew Or are their nesting days through? There was a heavy turtledove In the kitchen window view Yesterday, she did not come today Just the young male, its true Is she now on the nest, busy? Is he feeding her now? Both anticipate the babies Wondering exactly how~~ God has given them their instructions They know just what to do Time will bring the crackin' egg sounds Then once again the baby flew

Isn't that wonderful that God has given the doves the instructions?! After all, He forgot to give them reading glasses. Smiles, Gershon

Gershon, I don't know if Doves live long enough to need glasses, but some humans do. They try to deny it like my brother did when he would put the newspaper on the floor to read it. LOL..Thanks for the humor on my page. Sara

Sara, I love the nuance of this and the passage of time . The egg laying, The different roles of Mother and Father, the anticipation and your view from the window ! All the best to you, Susan :)

Love your observation from your porch Sara, the poetry is lovely. I always have a feeling of wanting to see what you do. Oh by the way, Sara, i reside in Perth Australia, not the Scotland one. I was born in England, where i was raised, then moved to New Zealand and now Australia. Thank you for your comments i truly appreciated your visit.

Harry, I think New Zealand and Australia are two very interesting countries. Only from pictures and movies do I get my ideas of what they are like though. Thanks for the visit to my page. Oh, just look for the minute things of life and enjoy them. Sara
