if you listen deeply
you will hear
my howl
it comes from my heart
sometimes in
soft whispers
sometimes
a hollering call

always of love
always protecting
always for you

at day
as i roam
forging through the woods
it is my test
of stamina
my test
of strength

to always
love and protect
always for you

my eyes see clearly
in the pitch of night
inspiring and guiding me

always to love
always to protect
always for you

and never to question
the magic of life
