A Second Lovesong

So this baby goat loved
his mother very much.

"I love you, mother,
very much. May I climb
onto your back to be
near to you?"

So he would climb onto
his mother's soft back
and stand there for hours.

The view from up there
was incredible. He could
see into the next pen,
out across the yard,
dozens of other goats
who all gazed back up at
him in admiration.
