The Miracle of Birth
There was a hush everywhere
as if the world was on pause
an expectancy stirring in the air
not a single sound just silence
What was happening out there?
far away, deep in the outback
a circle stood made of animals
each with ears pricked forward
Staring intently, still as statues
hardly a breath being drawn
in the middle giving birth
A beauteous snow white deer
The fawn is born, a collective sigh
stirs from the spell bound audience
here she is, the promised princess
a plaintive cry as she struggles to her feet
There in the moonlight she stands
regal from the tip of her nose
proudly her mother shows her off
Bambi moves forward to join them
Trembling legs all going each way
Bambi nuzzles her as she stands
this he seems to say is my heir
all the animals approach and kneel
Paying their homage to Silver
exclaiming at her beauty
peace will reign the forest
all drawn together by the birth
