My Trusted Companion

Loyal is the wolf

His heart pure and true

Misunderstood by man

Thought to kill for pleasure

But wrong man has been

Indian lives with wolf

Even calls him brother

So why can't we

He is my guardian and protector

Always watching over me, protecting me

In my dreams he watches me

His eyes of liquid gold prying through the black mist of sleep

His voice, his howl, the wolfsong, keeping nightmares at bay

In my dreams I see him,

Me and him, running freely, through forests side by side

The sound of birds rushing through my ears.

The smell of spring water running through my nose

The trees, the animals, the earth sweeping by

He is there by my side

Noble is the wolf

Always their when I need him

My brother, and my friend

Till the bitter end
