I watched as a doe and her fawns tracked thru the woods
She leapt over a fence and waited to see if her fawns could
The fawns went up and down the fence line, trying to find an easier way there
The mother waited patiently as if she did not have a care

One by one her babies leaped over the fence
Waiting for the runt, had to be tense
Up and down that fence line he  frantically raced
Until he got the courage to jump over at the same place

The mother knew what her babies could do
A life lesson; they had to learn; that they could do it too
You can learn a lot from nature if you sit back and watch
Be patient with others; they're on their own time; their own clock
