I Love an Antelope’s Smile

I love an antelope’s smile
I will paint one wide by a mile
Giving the colour freely
Never hesitating, eventually
The canvas portrays
A sweet cherished face
For I love to see antelopes smile
A steady creature beguiling
Stealth steps sturdy in stride
A beautiful animal
I’d love so much to ride
It becomes part of the wind of life
Dashing through grasses
Across plains so bleak
For when it smiles
It is trying to speak
Grazing in amazing numbers
Each one is trying to smile
Their coats quivering
In the heat all the while
Shaking off numerous bites
That aggravate a might
Keeping a low profile
With its own mate
It says as the antelope smiles
I’ll see you at the gate.
