THE GIFT



He loved her so that one day he
went to her father Chief Eagle
and asked if he could take
his daughter, Doe Of The Forrest
to be his forever.
"You are to give her a gift, and if she
accepts it, then she has given you
her heart in return, and will become
your bride forever", answered her
father.


He remembered the first time
he saw her.
Bathing in the cool waters of
the river.
Her long black hair wrapped
around her body.
Her skin the look of silk.
His heart fell in love with her.


Chief Eagle appointed the
brave warrior to watch over his
daughter, that no harm should
come to her.
The brave warrior watched
over and protected, Doe of the
Forrest for many a day.

They grew together in each
others eyes.
He would catch her watching
him, as he stood guard.
Every day she went to the
river to bath, he would look
the other way.


Til that day he saw her
beauty, and desired her so.
As his eyes strayed wanting
to know.
He knew she saw him watching
as she dove under swimming
to the other side of the trees.
Thinking he couldn't see.


The best gift he could give her
was his Stallion Wildfire who he
loved above all things.
The next day, reins in hand
Wildfire and the brave warrior
walked to the river, to wait for
Doe of the Forrest to appear.


As she did he walked out of
the trees with Wildfire at his
side and putting his hand out
holding the reins to her waited.


She looked into his eyes, then
taking the reins, smiled at the
brave warrior.
She had given him her heart,
and his heart loved her forever.
