The Lonely Bird

~I have often seen this little Mourning Dove sitting on the telephone line in front of my house at least twice a day for the last couple of years.

He or she is always sitting in the same place and always alone.

I know that Mourning Doves mate for life so I imagine it's mate is probably gone and he/she is left here on earth to bide away its time until they meet again one day.

No other birds will have anything to do with it and I often think that it finds some sort of happiness by looking in my windows, often to see me looking back or walking past the window doing my day to day chores.
