Precious Bambi

There he was
in the yard
as beautiful
as can be,
I elevated
the older child
up to see the view,
then sat her
on the counter
so I could elevate
the younger child
and hold him
as we just took in
the beauty.
Not truly where
he belonged
yet in reality
he belonged
so much more
I do believe
as he ate
from the fruit
of the trees.

Something scared him
and he pranced away
towards the front yard.
We ran to the front door
sprung it open wide
as we see him standing
off to the side in all his beauty.

At one moment he turned
and looked at us
and I melted
at the sweetness of his freedom.
Then he slowly walked
to the street and crossed
with such grace,
and we could see
his past wound very evident,
knowing humanity
took a swipe at him.
We went to the picture window
and watched him
as he wandered lost
in a universe that was theirs
until progress took it all away.

The innocence
of the children
just reveled
in the beauty
of this creature
so free,
yet a prisoner
in it's own
environment.
This creature
was a precious Bambi
that's at least
what the children
called him,
and who am I
to argue with a child.

Yay!!! (does happy dance) Oh Ria, I love fawns and deer sooooooooo much, Bambi is also one of my all-time favorite movies and makes me cry every time I watch it as the way he grows up reminds me of me! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it! (thumps feet like Thumper the rabbit happily in the movie) Yay, God Bless You and the innocent children, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ria, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I shot a deer when I was 12yo.Strange cruel rights of passage into southern manhood.I was over whelmed by mixed emotions.A combination of pride and sadness.
