The last thing I expected Was the first thing that I saw When I looked from my window And I stood there just in awe I saw three little babies There was no mother 'round They jumped and climbed and tumbled Really playful on the ground. Three fury little critters With their tiny painted masks Their three ringed little tails As the scrounged around for snacks Such curious lil' critters But so lonely on their own With their momma not around Would they make it to be grown? Two of them, they scampered up To the top of the tree's limbs But one of them just sat there Wasn't running on a whim So slowly I approached him While extending out my hand I thought I might get bitten But it went how I had planned Think he was as scared as me He didn't move a muscle I put my hand out towards him And gave a nervous chuckle He sat there still and quiet As my hand pet his rough fur And as I gently stroked him I wondered, where was his mother? I watched these little babies As they stayed around and played Long as you stood back and watched The lil' critters weren't afraid For many days I watched them Then one day they disappeared Don't know if they just ran off Or were roadkill, that I feared Three tiny little raccoons And they filled my days with joy Wonder where it is they went With no mother to convoy |

hehe. I wouldn't worry about them, dovey. Nature has a way of taking care of its own. I enjoyed this poem the first time and I still do. Thank you, dovey......  |

LOL Ali! The raccons may have left, but every once in a while I get a chance to glimps the squirrels playing too. They were doing that just the other day in my backyard. Was the funniest thing  [This message has been edited by WhtDove (edited 04-21-2000).] |

This is sooo precious 'Becca. I love watching the wildlife scamper and play and 'Deer is right...they have a way of fending for themselves. Love this poem! Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |

Shawna I love to watch them too, it's very amusing. They were just babies, so I hope they survived. Thanks Denise. Appreciate it Mike! |
