Deer’s Lullaby

Out of the ruins

where the long shadows fell

We heard your quiet song,

we broke the spell

Thirty-one souls, but you stood apart

With your bright, wide ears

and your giant heart

Little Abyssinian, sweet Deer of our days

You found your place in my mother's warm gaze

A soul connection, a companion so true

Every dark corner

was brightened by you

Oh, our little Deer,

you brought us pure joy

(pure joy) A love that no winter could ever destroy

Now the high keys are ringing,

empty and clear

We keep you forever,

our precious, our dear

Your battle was won,

we let you go free

(we miss you) Always our light in the memory
