the silver dove
Claudia Skipper
remember the quiet mornings
with the birds flying above
think of that place when you're sad
find your silver dove
in the tree she hides
far out of reach
she whispers words of balance
let her be free
in the night she goes away
you're left lost and all alone
when she comes back in the morning
you feel alright, at home
she keeps watch over you
flying high in the sky
when you're sad, scared, or frightened
find your eyes
