There was once a Dove
Peaceful and Calm it appeared
Its feathers made of silk
and with a colour like milk
Anyone who saw it
Simply fell in Love with it…
This Dove, though had dreams
It carried in its eyes a gleam…
and a dream of piercing the skies
just like the majestic Eagle
It tried and tried
with its structure so frugal
came nowhere close
to the Majestic bird so Regal…
Sad and dejected it felt
with a heavy heart
that was ready to melt
Sad and depressed it remained
even when flying with its members
No appreciation it received
was worth a remember
It only carried within
its failure as a raging amber
All alone in a flight
managing within, many a fight
it was indeed a sorry plight
of the milky white dove
that simply perished one night
