the mother deer looked slightly affronted by my
presence
her tail flicked
and those huge ears
(the better to hear you with my dear) twitched
nearby a little fawn anxiously pranced
gently the doe nuzzled her child
calming and loving
and then
without another look
peacefully went back to her grazing
her child now secure
went back to chasing bugs
the security
of love and trust
every child deserves this
every child of every color of every country
every child of God
Lord forgive us for the many ways
we fail to provide security
for your
children
