One Good Turn

A deer came tapping away 

At my door in the cool serene
chilly night I didn’t open up

For fear of lions lurking far away 
In the dark.

Does that make me less human

I think so I’m feeling a little guilt in
my heart for one day I’d be in it’s shoes

One good turn deserves another
truly! truly!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
