The Fear of the Deer

We all want to grow
But growth brings you fear
For what does a doe
Know better than a deer

They might be able to play
And run around all day
But the deer know fear
And they feel when death draws near

And so does’ watch out
For innocence should be treasured  
The seed of knowledge will sprout
then your days will be measured

Because who could know 
the fear of a deer
When all they’ve ever been
Is a doe
