Tribute To Bambis Mom

You were selfless, sacrificing yourself to save your son.
At the sound of the gunshot, he froze, knowing not to prance out.
He became friends with rabbits and skunks; everyone loves him.
Know that your sacrifice was appreciated, and he remained safe.
He grew up to father many fawns and his legacy lives on in the forest.
We did not change his name. He still goes by Bambi.
He is the king of the forest but getting a bit up there in age now.
He will be joining you soon on the Rainbow Bridge, Mom.

That was the only part of Bambi that scared me to death.
