"Mourning Dove"

"Mourning Dove" by James M.

Silver dove that I see
High above the willow tree

Build your nest towards the sky
Build your nest and do not cry

For who will cry when you are gone?
Who will sing your mourning song?

Note from James: I like mourning doves, I think they are beautiful. I am 15 and go to Tosa East High School and this is a poem I thought up today during class.
