A Caring Unknown

Goodness me
What could this be
This sight that's most perplexing

It could see
But I could sense
It found my presence vexing

Into the trees
It tried to run
But could not get away

So instead
It held its head
And cursed me through the day

I sat by it
I can't omit
Its fear was all-consuming

But I was there
Through its despair
My light was ever looming

And I took care
And helped repair
The memories that were lost

It died that day
And I have to say
That it was completely worth the cost
