The Dove

3 1 1
                                    

There is a dove that's hard to catch

It's sweet and lovely as can be

It comes to those who have good hearts

It does not judge by what eyes see


And it avoids those who are cruel

All those who'd like to do it harm

Although they grin and play pretend

The bird avoids them with alarm


~~~


The worst people in life are those 

Who know they won't receive your love

And so they settle for your tears

(These are the ones who shoot the dove)
