I AM A WOLF


I am a wolf,
running through the trees.
Following the scents
on the midnight breeze.

I am a wolf,
howling beneath a silver moon.
Hoping that my loyal pack
will answer again quite soon.

I am a wolf,
standing with my beautiful mate.
We must stand strong and brave
and face any challenges we meet.

I am a wolf,
hunting with my pack.
With the young and old wolves waiting
for meat to be brought back.

I am a wolf,
and I must kill to survive.
But isn't that something we all must do
in order to stay alive?

I am a wolf,
withstanding man's fear and hate.
But many have come to love wolves,
and for us that's quite a treat.

I am a wolf,
wild, fierce and free.
Living in forests and mountains
stretching as far as the eye can see.

I am a wolf,
I'd never want to be anything more.
And I hope that even after I'm gone,
there will be wolves forevermore.
