Natures Wonders
As I walked down a pathway in the mountains in April
I came across a scene everyone could be thankful
To see in the midst under a evergreen tree
A doe giving birth to her new born baby
She lays on the ground with her head up
Watching her fawn come out with one last push
I see the fawn struggling to get out the sack it was in
And the mother helps out by licking on him
Until the sack is broken revealing him
He cries for his mom as she licks him more
Reassuring him is such a chore
He continues to cry out and tries to stand up
But his wobbly legs just wont quite hold up
He plops back down and cries some more
His mother still licking and cleaning him on the floor
He gets his legs underneath himself
And stand ups without any help
He tries to walk forward and falls on his face
And begins to cry while his mom licks his face
He attempts to stand again and mom gives him a nudge
And he plunges forward again but manages to stay up
On his feet now his mom licks him clean
Revealing her next little king
But something seems odd with this little deer
He's awfully white for this time a year?
Low and behold it finally hits me
He's an albino and a rarity at that
Then I see him plop down next to his mothers lap

What a sight to see
That I was blessed by thy
