LITTLE PRECIOUS

Little Precious, faun so sweet;
Tears from birth, with hoofs for feet.
Yearned to be a dancing queen;
Ballerina was her dream.

Horns of plenty, tail embed;
Legs of goat and hair to dread.
Made from animal spirits, too,
Precious is the Forest’s brew.

Soon her tears will wash away,
Doing faun things every day.
Guiding humans needing aid,
Through the forest glen and glade.

Helping them with life’s distress;
Instilling hope for their success.
Playful, fun and full of love,
Precious serves her Lord above.

With tasks at hand, she feels complete;
Life is short for fauns so sweet.
Never aging as she knows;
So few years she has to grow.

Heaven holds a place for fauns;
Without them, we would be withdrawn.
Mischievous as they seem to be,
They’ve made their mark in history.

Little Precious, faun so sweet;
Great to know her, glad to meet.
A special light will always glow,
For someone Precious whom I know.
