Tethered

I see you laying there all forlorn
Slightly damaged and all alone

I kneel down beside you
Scrutinizing all your scars

I make you a solemn promise 
To help you the best I can

Once I get you tethered 
We start our little dance

You slowly make your way to me
Causing me to smile

You come to a stop 
Once you’re on solid ground 

I remove the chains that bind us
Allowing you to be free

Grateful that your owner
Didn’t hit that tree. 

*That’s what it feels like to recover a car from the ditch.
