A friendly little rabbit sits in my yard.<\/p>\n
He comes to visit every day just like he has a job.<\/p>\n
He has a spot where he likes to sit all day.<\/p>\n
He looks around the neighborhood, but has very little to say.<\/p>\n
He’s fuzzy and black, a veritable sight.<\/p>\n
He only moves away when day changes to night.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He seems to be studying the people as they go by.<\/p>\n
He doesn’t seem to be afraid when little children cry.<\/p>\n
He’s not afraid of the dogs when they try to scare him away.<\/p>\n
He’s a cute little bunny, diligently working all day.<\/p>\n
He never bothers the plants, flowers or trees.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what he eats, but there’s no food from me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why is he there I’ve pondered in my mind.<\/p>\n
I think this was his home before it was mine.<\/p>\n
My husband and I built a home here you see;<\/p>\n
now my husband passed on which left only me.<\/p>\n
I’d like to think that rabbit was heaven sent.<\/p>\n
A gentle creature of God’s love as a testament.<\/p>\n
I know I’m not alone when the rabbit assumes his place.<\/p>\n
Somehow this rabbit reminds me of my husband;<\/p>\n
watching over me as I’m covered by love and God’s grace.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ears and all.<\/p>\n
Keeping a watchful eye when people come to call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
