Wild Pigeon

Wild Pigeon

Dr Abe V Rotor

Author's son Matt holds a wild pigeon for a photograph 

before setting it free during a field study on Tikob Lake, 

Tiaong, Quezon. Circa 1987

You can not be free

if man is your master,

even if he feeds you

and shelters you,

for you belong

to a flock and the sky.

Be a friend then

to a young heart,

fill it with joy

and link your world

with his own. ~
