The Dove’s Song

In the early morning stillness,
the sun gently wakes,
a tender sound echoes,
throughout this desert place.

Stunningly peaceful,
ever so strong,
sweet and assuring,
it is, the Dove’s Song.

Among the cacti they roam,
singing a pretty tune,
serenity washes over me,
in this magical place we call home.

The joys of growing up a desert child,
their cooing inviting us to play,
young imaginations running wild,
on those long hot summer days.

Over the years,
in the vastness of this land,
I have gladly shared their space,
quietly honoring the gift before me,
their dignity and their grace.

In the early morning stillness,
the sun gently wakes,
a tender sound echoes,
throughout this desert place.

Stunningly peaceful,
ever so strong,
sweet and assuring,
it is, the Dove’s Song.
