Purposes

Two fawns Twins Siblings Innocent and sweet Headed to dangers unknown to them A warning from a stranger Mother arrives Babies play at her feet Mother knows best Always Toward the danger she leads No fear No doubt Just instinct In and out of danger she leads them Confident Alert Determined Lessons to be learned The stranger holds their breath It is then At this moment It is learned Control is not theirs to be had To be held But to be relinquished Two fawns Twins Siblings Innocent and sweet Learned where and what to eat Learned how to live Learned what lessons to give To the strangers That watch them Day to day Month to month Season to season Then BANG Purpose is met Sustenance is formed A family eats ~Mandie Vinson 08.02.2017
