Ode To A Wolf
Your beauty astounds me...
Your strength,
Your age-old wisdom,
Your perseverance,
Your courage.
Your eyes look through my soul,
And they leave me breathless.
You do what you must to survive,
Just like I do.
So why do people persecute you?
Why do they hunt you down
and kill you?
Do they not see your beauty?
Do they not see all that you are?
Do they not see that you do
what you have to do to survive?
Don't they realize
that they do the same?
Let me see the world
through your eyes
For just one day.
Let me learn the lessons
That you have taught
to others before me.
I pray that God would give me
The wisdom that I see in you,
The strength and perseverance
that you have.
I pray that God would give me
Your courage
to face each day anew.
And most of all,
I pray that others
Will see these qualities in you too
Before it is too late...
Before you are gone for all time!
