Life's Foibles

Finally the blood began to coagulate
my journey is ended I just recently thought
now the dizziness in my head seems to abate
but a broken leg may be the trial I  wrought
when finding my dog was surely all I had sought

Life is uncertain when catching us unaware
Walking in darkness with only night's gentle light
if we were but wizards, we might simply prepare
for life's hazards which are beyond reach of our sight
still, I found my dog so now life looks very bright

Excellent work placing 10th out of 31 entries! What won me over is that this is just a story about saving/finding your dog. A unique premise!
