>You sat there bored to tears
>when a tapping hit your ears
>coming from your front door
>the tapping unheard before
>you opened the door to your surprise
>was a fluffy mother with bright green eyes
>her foals and her were cold and weak
>your food and shelter they did seek
>your face was still, your heart was black
>to the cold, you would them back
>deciding instead on a cruel and evil ploy
>to bring them pain would bring you joy
"my home can only shelter your foals three
Or the fluffy mother." you spoke with glee
>The mother sat there thinking
>is she dead? No she's blinking
>the offer must have been to much
>her small head must be full of fluff
>you were about to repeat your deal
>when she answered full of zeal
>"Take fwuffy babes. Do no hawm."
>This sudden turn had broke your calm
>You stood there staring into space,
>as the color had left your face.
>on a night so dark and dreary
>you must have spoken so unclearly
>you kneel down and speak as plain as day
"You or babes. Only one can stay."
>she looks at you with her big green eyes
>and repeated herself to your surprise
>"Take babes. Keep them wawm and safe."
>this time you could not keep your face
>you told her of the wonders she'd miss
>the food, the toys, the fun, the bliss.
>with every word her smile grew wider
>even without her babes beside her.
>you stood there without thought without word
>the mother's compassion was just unheard
>some people that knew you would say
>that your heart grew three sizes that day
>this display was too much to take
>the mother's love had made you break
>as she turned to brave the snow
>before she leaves you had to know
"Why turn this down to give to the foals?"
>"Keep my babes safe. Mumma's onwy goal."
>Never before had a fluffy been so kind
>never before had a mother's mind
> you stood to the side and let the foals walk by
>the mother smiled with a tear in her eye
"My home is quite large with room for one more."
>guiding the mother inside, before closing the door
>five lives that night had been saved
>you, the mother, and her three babes
