CARES FOR HER BROTHERS

She found him lying in the shade
wanting to flee
but much too afraid
She slipped quietly away
watching and waiting
throughout the day
When evening drew near
she rose and returned
to the orphaned deer
All the animals were her brothers
the bear and the buffalo
the fawn and their mothers
She cared for the souls
of the fish and the fowl
the mares and their foals
Her heart was so filled with love for others
that to all the animals
she was
Cares for Her Brothers
