A drama unfolded at noon yesterday
Beneath a row of Laurel's we’d planted one year
From across the meadow it wasn’t quite clear
Just what was fighting this rabbit so dear.
For all of a sudden giant wings flapped
“It’s an eagle,” we cried, “and it’s on the attack.”
But the brave little rabbit leapt straight at its chest
And the great bird pulled skyward out of its reach
We watched the small rabbit sit dazed in the grass
Both on the alert lest the eagle flew back
It didn’t seem wounded -it sat there unscathed
In the light of a miracle we named him,”Braveheart.”
