Deep in an earthy valley of roots and trees
Sat a small village of burrows and dens
Wildlife of all kind called the village home
From deer to fishercat to little house wrens

A happy family of white-tailed deer
Lived in the bustling center of the town
A happy mother, father, and a curious young
Who, peculiarly, often bore a frown

She wandered through the village
On one bright summer morning
To play with some hopeful friends
Colors and beauty they were adorning

Yet today as the deer took a risk
And considered playing with others new
They merely gawked at her appearance
She would have stayed away if only she'd knew

However, determined to fit in
With the pretty-appearing crowd
She marched away into the forest
Her soft footsteps never loud
 
On a mission she was for beauty
Just wanted to become one of them
She searched the trees and the leaves
