Little Dove

Once was a child, fragile as a dove

Angels from heaven flew down, to grant her much love

At first, the dove's parents gave her everything in life

Until they realized; they loved her no more- It just wasn't right

And now, they decide, our love will die tonight

Her father took off on white wings, never to return

Real family is the family that doesn't leave, she went on to learn

No one to sing little dove a gentle night's song

Her family fights and yells; no one gets along

Now she knows what it feels like to always be wrong

Every day that dove lives, she is scared and afraid

Of the next day that will come, when her happiness is taken away

One day, the angels will come again; the pain will be gone

"Don't worry little child, it won't be for much long"

Now the little dove is quiet, trying to be strong
