The Beautiful Antelope

A 
creature 
to 
pet 
and 
spoil 
like 
a 
child.
Smooth-
skinned, 
stepping 
cautiously 
in 
the 
grass. 
Round 
and 
plump 
like 
a 
newly 
married 
wife, 
its 
neck, 
heavy 
with 
brass 
rings, 
it 
eyes, 
Gentle 
as 
a 
bird.
It 
Head, 
lovely 
like 
a 
carved 
wood. 
When 
it 
run 
away, 
it 
spread 
light 
dust 
like 
a 
BUTTERFLY 
which 
shakes 
its 
wings.
It 
Neck 
seems 
long, 
so 
very 
long 
to 
the 
greedy 
hunter.
All 
this 
quality 
eager 
the 
Hunter 
of 
this 
ANTELOPE. 
Hmm.. 
Its 
not 
gonna 
be 
easy 
but 
he 
should 
keep 
in 
mind 
the 
following 
DETERMINATION 
AND 
SUCCESS.
Life 
is 
a 
mystry.
Whatever 
you 
do 
depends 
on 
your 
HEART.
So 
believe 
you 
can 
do 
it 
and 
you 
will.
