The Wingless Mourning Dove
April 28, 2014
The mourning dove without wings
Hops across the ground as he sings
He sings a mournful cry
Oh, how he wishes he could fly
Day and night he stares up above
Where there are flying winged doves
They fly with freedom and sing their songs
To be free, too, the wingless dove longs
But he cannot without wings
So all he is able to do is sing
Sing and cry his songs of mourning
And wish for wings to appear the next morning
