There is a legend up here
in the North
How the great Spirit teaches us to grow
In a 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 this 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 sacrifice as he gave the man's
soul and 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 predator it 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 away way.
She knew it would be thus,
til her dying day.
