A new life in my hands, a frail body and four wobbly legs, a new life
began.
Fighting for his life, a new born. Barely able to stand.
A new life in my hands.
No experience with animals or man.
Beautiful large rounded eyes. Looking around for the very first time.
Never suspecting the danger he would find.
Menacing dogs on his trail.
A new life so delicate and frail.
Eyes reflecting intense fear. But too weak to move out of there.
From a distance I viewed the happening.
Without
hesitation I ran with tremendous speed towards the new born.
Words couldn't express the happiness I felt being there to help.
In my arms I held the trembling fawn.
In his eyes I saw his fears beginning to vanish.
The trembling ceased.
I carefully reunited the baby with the mother.
I glanced down to take a last look at the two lovingly intertwined.
This rare moment in time etched forever in my mind.
