BELLA & HOGAN
By,
Kathleene S. Baker


Napping on the forest floor,
I was a brand new baby fawn.
Anxiously waiting for my mama,
Yet, still alone come the dawn.

Forlorn, I began to wander,
Despite being filled with fear.
Hungry, weak, and tired,
I sensed the end was near.

Then I awoke snug and warm,
Sharing a soft, plush bed.
Being tended to by Hogan,
Who lavished kisses on my head.

How I thrived with Hogan’s care,
He was my guiding light.
When we parted two hearts broke,
But he visits my dreams at night.

At long last I frolic in the forest,
Just as Mother Nature planned.
Hogan spends days as a loving pet
And the best friend known to man.


As a side note, the owner of a large website sent me these photos and asked me to write a poem for him to post. Whoa! I was scared at first. But, I looked at those two precious critters and the words just flooded my brain! :-)

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
