Under a leafy green tree, little Tommy sat with a paper and crayons.

With his blond hair shining in the sun, he started to draw something special.

He drew two wings, curved and soft, with gentle lines for feathers.

Blue eyes focused, Tommy added a round body in the middle of the wings.

A small beak on the face, and two eyes like his, the dove looked happy.

He wondered if the dove needed a friend, perhaps a tree just like his?

With a careful hand, Tommy drew a tree, with branches spread wide and welcoming.

He imagined the tree was like his, strong, old, and full of stories.

The dove needed more friends, so Tommy added a family of doves, cuddled together.

Happy with his creation, he decided to give each dove a name.

One by one, he whispers, 'Peace, Hope, Joy,' and smiles at each one.

Tommy knew his picture was ready, a peaceful scene under a sunny sky.
