                                                                                                                                        Out of its natural environment. . . down from the mountains.
                                                                                                                                        Proof that even the creatures do what they must for survival.

                                                                                                                                        If only I had something to give it to eat,
                                                                                                                                        Gentle young fawn, you’re so beautiful to see
                                                                                                                                        A reminder that Mother Earth does not just belong to humans, to me.

                                                                                                                                        O’ little fawn, you are so dainty, so precious
                                                                                                                                        Thank you for making my day special, and wonderful.
