I drove to the river this morning and came upon the unusual sight of a possum during daylight hours. He was clearly struggling and my heart broke as I watched him dying.
I drove over to the city yard and chased down James, one of the city workers. He connected with Chris, our local Animal Control Officer at the humane society/animal shelter who came by and gave possum its final care.
Not a great way to start my day but I'm so grateful to James and Chris for helping the little guy to his rest.

A river mourning
Daylight struggle, nighttime woe
Life passes onward
I love hearing about these acts of kindness.
ReplyDeleteComing to grips with death in the midst of daily life is difficult. Small creatures are not small in God's sight.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind and loving thing for you to do as this wee possum passed on. Many would just ignore it and leave home to die alone. Thank you for sharing your story and beautiful haiku. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love the Haiku that you made for this, well, you know I have always said you should publish a book of all of them. Usually, if you see a possum out in the daylight, they are struggling and maybe starving. They help our environment so much by eating many insects.
ReplyDeleteKindness is always a heartwarming story
ReplyDeletemuch love...
I am so grateful that this possum had you to watch over his death and that he was taken care of by kind hands, thank you James and Chris. Thank you for sharing this with us Annie and allowing us to witness as well. XO
ReplyDeleteYou are an angel and so glad the possum had you watching over him along with others ~ Xox
