A poem about a dove that visits my feeder often.

A chapter in the book For the Birds

Beautiful Dove

by mermaids

you watch the cat
as she watches you
unfazed by her crouching form
Esther and Emily
my favorite pair

Esther comforts my husband
and I
her delicate form
graces our presence
outside our home
and inside our hearts

beautiful dove
why did God send
you to us?
we wait for you
winged spirit
that returns often

beautiful dove
quiet and loyal
watching us
as we care for you





We have a dove that comes to our feeder often. We have named
her Esther and she doesn't fly away when one of our cats watches her through the window.
