She had wandered the forest for so long
Falling down at the water's edge
Sobbing she feared this was the end
Having just seen her entire tribe killed
The shame over taking her for running
Lacking the courage to stay and fight
Looking up she was eye to eye with a wolf
Cowering in fear, she didn't no what to do
The wolf was injured it laid down across from her
As she reached out lying her hand on it's head
Both their spirits left, she felt herself floating
Hearing a voice telling her she still had to learn
about courage, of love and the meaning of family
She was being given a gift, a last chance to understand
With that she saw a bright light blinding her
When her eyes opened the night was so clear
With a start she realized she was the wolf now
Her injuries had been healed, she was whole again
As the howls pierced the silence she knew the call
Going on instinct she answered the howling
Soon her pack was all around her, they thought she died
The alpha walked up to her greeting his mate
He checked her over, he was worried about the pups in the den
Relief flooded over him as he realized his mate was okay
Having never belong the feelings of love shook her to the core
Following her mate they ran along the river to their home
As soon as she entered the den seven fur balls greeted her
Having never had a mother herself she was unprepared
for the rush of love she felt as she nuzzled her pups
The weeks passed and her love grew, she belonged now
She was learning the true meaning of family
Watching as the pack worked together to meet all their needs
The pups rolling around and playing in the tall grass
One day she heard a scared cry from one of her sons
Running up to the ridge she spotted the bear yards away
Rushing without a moments hesitation she put herself between the two
Standing her ground, she bared her teeth and let out a feral growl
The bear growled right back and started to charge
She ran towards the bear not letting it get any closer to her son
That she could lose didn't cross her mind at all
Her single thought was to save her child
The pack hearing the ruckus joined in the fight
Running away the bear knew this was one he would lose
Her pups ran to the safety of their mother
as her kisses rained down upon them
That night as she drifted off to sleep, she heard the voice again
It told her that she always had the courage inside her
She had only needed something worth fighting for
The Song of The Wolves
The moon peeks out as the wolf pack waits,
It's silvery beam shining.
Snouts lifted to the moon, the wolves sing of their fates,
The light of the silvery dime blinding.
Their voices raise high with their soulful melody,
Stars dotting the skies above.
Dancing with the stars in a sweet, healing remedy, Their song sings of peace and love.
Pouring their hearts out to the understanding moon,
Their spirits raised up and lifted.
Howling out their rhythmic tune,
Realizing their peace with the earth has drifted.
Their voices will drop as the wind shifts and pulls,
And the souls of the wolves will mend.
For there's nothing more peaceful than the song of the wolves,
And their song of hope shall never end.
