A Squirrel Cried

A Squirrel Cried I heard outside a mournful sound I went outside to look around A squirrel cried for heaven’s sake Cried as if he heart did break A from the corner of my eye I saw a pair of wings fly by Wings that took off for the trees I saw at once the squirrel freeze I ran to see where it had flown A nearby tree on the golf course zone And when I got under that tree A great big hawk looked down at me Then once again the bird set sail Within his grasp, a squirrel’s tail And I too then got glassy eyed For I knew why the squirrel cried true story - happened in my backyard yesterday morning. the squirrel continued to cry for about 30 minutes. I think it was a young squirrel that lost its mother.
