The Dove's Message

As the sun began to rise over the glistening ocean, a single dove broke through the clouds overhead and desended from the sky onto a dew encrusted window ledge.
A laced teal ribbon held an invatation that would change it’s reader’s life forever. This ribbon was tightly tied around the dove’s left leg. However the bird was not told who the invatation was for.
The dove wedged itself into a small crack in the window and then out into the bedroom of a sleeping boy.
Beady black dove-eyes peered about the room. A small table stood in the corner, a dresser in another corner, and one small book case containing only 4 books stood by the bed. Laying on the bed was a golden haired boy seeming to be about 14 years old. He appeared to be strong, handsome, smart, and to be well mannered.
As the dove approached the sleeping boy, he awoke. His emerald green eyes fell imediatly to where the dove stood.
It was then, when thier eyes met, that the dove realized that he had found who the invatation was for.
