Desperate I felt, as I saw him out of breath,
With blood all around, he laid there on the ground,
His mouth still open, his neck was crushed,
Her darling son passed away today.
In her eyes, I saw a mother's sacrifice,
Love and care like a human being,
Faith and hope that he would still live,
But deep grief that he would now leave.
Her heart pounded so much that one could see it's beating lament from outside,
Her eyes overflowed with tears as she laid beside him,
Though the world had abandoned him she did not leave him,
A mother would never leave her son.
I've known her since she was a pup,
We've fought some great battles before,
But now I see her grieving for her son, run over by a car,
My heart aches at the sight,
And I feel a deep pain within.
It's a feeling of empathy,
One I've only felt for humans before.
Though we were different, I felt her pain,
And as she waited beside her son all day,
It hurt even more.
