These is legend up here in the North
How the Great Spirit teaches us to grow
In the story of the woman lost away from her tribe.
Her husband there at her very side,
they were between some cubs and their mother.
The choice of two ways, one run,
but attack for the other. He turned to his wife
giving the promise to her.
Run but remember I will always be at your side.
Then he turned his attention to the bear
putting all else aside.
A passing Wolf saw this, and thought
what socrifice As he gave the man's soul
a body in which to ride together
they came to this decision
the Wolf the promise would keep,
a lasting love given.
As she was running she saw the Wolf
not far off.
It became apparent a predaterit was not
She became comfortable seeing it day after day.
Knowing that she was safe with Wolf
not far away.
She remembered the words
her love had last spoken.
The promise she now knew, was not
being broken.
The Wolf did not let her out of site
in any way.
She knew it would be thus,
till her dying day!!!
