You come back home after burying your friend,

It's normal to feel lost and empty,

Thinking you could have done something to save them,

You go for a walk to clear your head near a bustling road near some woods,

You see a lump on the edge of the road near the pavement,

In your state you just hope its just a rock

But no, as you get closer you realise its a squirrel,

Curled up in fright over the noises of cars,

You lean down to make sure he's alright,

He sees you and runs but freezes when a car comes near,

"Run little one, run" you cried out.

He runs into the bushes,

You laugh and cry in relief that he is and will be okay

You walk home in shock, but also content.


Nature has ways of showing her respect to those who care for her children, as long as you remember to care even for the dead, she will show you compassion through her children and actions through the trees.

Through death, we give and feed new life.
