The foxes in my garden

The foxes in my garden
Arrive at night to play
They  had their fill of chicken
And so decide to stay 

I crouch down on my haunches 
And look into her eyes 
The little one so trusting 
She’s like her mother wise 

I see how she has taught them 
To fend well for themselves 
But only Little Roxy 
Has me so overwhelmed 

She comes to me at midnight 
For honey in a bowl
As  I crouch down and watch her 
I know my heart she stole.  

The other three just run around 
They eat and  scatter fast 
But Roxy and her mother 
Make this encounter last
