A Mourning Dove Chat

April 19, 2020 By Doris Stensland

God hears our concerns:

A Mourning Dove Chat

Oh, peaceful bird
You are more graceful than the pigeon
     as you fly along,
but we’ve heard your sorrowful song.
You repeat it all day long.
We wonder what grief or heartache came.
Oh, what’s to blame
for these plaintive lamentations?

Oh, mourning dove,
If we could hear
     with God’s ear
we’d find this same sad song resound
     in many people’s hearts.
God’s children aren’t immune
from sorrow, pain and grief,
     but He has promised them relief.
He will be with them through the storm.
With His Presence a new song will form.
For them your tune will be embellished
     with the joyful cadences of the lark.
Weeping may remain for a night.
At times it may be very dark,
But rejoicing comes in the morning.
