Dove In Spring
" Like us, every bird and it's child needs a home" Quote by poet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A dove in spring flew helplessly
searching for a place to lay it's egg
No huge trees around where it could build its nest
"If I lay twigs on houses people throw them away
What do I do now?
Watch a crow eat my egg..."
Distressed it flew hither and thither.
It came to my balcony placed some twigs, laid an egg
I watched in wonder how it incubated it
Not a moment it would get up
Finally egg hatched
Little one came
Both parents fed the little one
I would help them by giving grains and water
Pink skinny body it was so small and tender
Crow was always hovering by wanting to eat it
But the mother just wouldn't leave the kid alone
I watched the kid grow
Slowly it got feathers and flew away...
It is a wonderful, beautiful memory
one which I can never forget
Birds, colourful fluttering beauties
Melodiously chirping all day
Should not become extinct.
