I am running across the busy street
With my raccoon friend not far behind
We are dodging in and out of traffic
I am afraid we might lose our life

This is what we raccoons have to deal with
Because our habitat they slowly take away
The safety of our trees have replaced
By these dangereous traffic filled streets

I looked back around
My raccoon friend is
No where to be found

I look on the busy street
As I have crossed it safely
And there on the side of the Curb
Is my friend on his back shaking

Nothing I can do for him now
But hope and pray he gets through it somehow
So into my woods I go
See what these nasty humans have done to my home

Cold hands means a warm heart

It's too bad that we humans can do stuff like that. Good idea here, Julie. I liked the way you put yourself in the place of the animals.

Typical of an angel to think of it that way.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

(big hugggsssssssss) It is terrible, dearest friend, that is because humans are the most evil of all creatures in this world, and some indeed are exceptions and want to help but still the idea that we nbend everything to our will is what kills the kitten as curiosity does! (sad sigh) Time to stop this before we all kill ourselves as retribution, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
