The Morning Shrew...

Little one in the morning sun,
    having barely survived the night...
To see you with sunlight on your back
     made me know something was not right
I thought at first to walk away,
     the Circle of Life and all,
but did not, could not...
     it's as though i heard you tiny call
Tiny eyes that barely see
     whiskers feeling everything,
even the slightest breeze
     with ears that heard my whisper
"are you all right, Little Brother"
     Then i saw the marks made by another who hunts
and realized you had just been stunned
     so i took you from the heat of the sun
placed you back in the woods to run
     Good luck, good day, Little One...
