Speak to me grey mourning dove.
Tell me why you’ve come?
Twice early morn, peering upon my grieving soul,
Your tilted head, mournful eyes look for understanding.

Speak to mine heart grey mourning dove.
Please enlighten me why you’ve come?
Comprehension dawns bright,
Love memorandum in the eyes of a dove.

Speak to mine heart grey mourning dove.
Tell me why you’ve come?
Carry on my little one, I’ll wait.
Dry your tears all is well with my soul.

Speak to mine heart grey mourning dove.
Tell me why you’ve come?
Afterlife assurance, Love, I’ll see you soon.
Crystal clear waters, boats sail free.

Speak to mine heart grey mourning dove.
Tell me why you’ve come?
Òcoo-OOH, Ooo-Ooo-OooÓ, you gracefully rise,
Bearing home, upon whistling wings.

Love’s memorandum received.

True words of love and such tenderness Lynn. This is a most wonderful writing.

Lynn this brought tears to my eyes. My sister-in-law lost her mother to cancer right a few months before her 2nd child was born. When she brought the baby home from the hospital, a bird tapped at the window and she held her son up for the bird to see.

Tanya, Angela and Randy - Thanks so much...

Anne - Your comment moved my heart...as the mourning dove poem is true. God sometimes does send his love on the wings of a dove or bird. A sign "all is well".

I love it! I also feed the mourning doves. They are groundfeeders underneather my bird feeders and I love to watch them!

Oh, I don't even have a comment that would honor this enough. I really thank you for writing it.

Deb - I've never seen one here in AR, but I certainly did in MN. They are beautiful creatures, this one was so tame, turning his head, looking into my eyes. The experience still mystifies me..thanks for commenting!

Sue - Thank you so much for your kind comment...appreciate it.
