They Care!

A noise is heard, I go out to investigate, it is back where the cows are, moon covered by heavy clouds, shines through slightly, spooky and cold this night, growling now louder, have to get to the cows. Ok made it, they are ok ,babies too, so cute they are. Looking around now growling again, louder more angry sounding, flashlight getting dim, shines in deep woods, only two eyes reflected, growls getting closer. What could it be didn’t know coyotes growled, deep voice? Bear! didn’t know there were bear around here, oh how I hope not. Cows must sense extreme danger, I have my pistol to protect them, (why didn’t I bring my rifle), they surround me, not letting me through, could not get a clear shot, please move. So strange I never knew. Heart beating faster and faster, stop thinking, concentrate, please go away I don’t mean you harm. Hours pass, growls further away now. Time to relax. They protected me, they care! EXHALE
