Symbols of peace and love, we are and have always been.

A dove is not allowed to feel the pain of

Hurt, rejection and loss,

Angry or sad we could never  allowed to be,

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

Doves live in a world in which

One must always be content and

To bring tranquility and harmony to all,

But as with any living being,

Whether a dove or a vicious animal be –

I would shed my feathers and disappear,

Only because-

<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->

I just cannot hide the pain that is forever eminent –

Without my feathers and wings to carry me,

I am none but a living being

With feelings and a beating heart as

Owned by everyone.
