FROM THE DARKNESS TO THE LIGHT












~Design by KIM~



STAND TALL
STAND PROUD
ALWAYS BELIEVE
IN WHO YOU ARE....

~STEPPING SOFTLY~ 2004 NEW

SHE LIFTS HER HEAD INTO THE WIND
HUNTING FOR THE SCENT
A GROWLING STOMACHE OF HUNGER PANGS
TOO FAR AWAY SHE HAS WENT.

STEPPING SOFTLY OVER THE AUTUMN LEAVES
SNOW IS IN THE AIR
HIGH UPON THIS MOUNTAIN
SHE STEPS WITH NO FEAR.

ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER
QUICKLY, QUIETLY PUT DOWN
SHE STOPS AND LISTENS INTENTLY
HOPING FOR ANY SOUND.

HER BABIES SHE HAS NEVER LEFT
AND WENT SO FAR AWAY
SINCE HER MATE WAS TAKEN,
SHOT, JUST THE OTHER DAY.

BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND
BLAME THEM FOR BAD THINGS
THEY NEVER REALLY DO
JUST NEED TO FEED THE KIDS
THATS ALL THEY WANT TO DO.

SHE IS STEPPING SOFTLY NOW
AS THE SNOW BEGINS TO FALL
FARTHER AWAY, FARTHER AWAY
FROM BABYS HUNGRY YET.

LOOKING FOR FOOD
BEFORE THE DARKNESS FALLS
HER YELLOW EYES ALERT
TO ALL THAT MAY PASS HER WAY

ALL SHE WANTS IS TO DO HER JOB
NO HELP WILL COME HER WAY
SHE SPOTS A RABBIT SITTING NEAR
SHE CROUCHES QUIETLY

STEPPING SOFTLY, AND VERY FAST
SHE NOW HAS DINNER FOR THE THREE
SHE MAKES HER WAY OVER THE MILES
BACK TO WHERE HER FAMILY, SHE HIDES

THEY TRY TO GET TO HER, THEY SMELL HER SCENT
THEIR MOMMA IS HOME WITH FOOD, ONCE AGAIN
A BLACK WOLF OF BEAUTY AND GRACE
YELLOW EYES SURVEY HER PLACE

MAKING SURE ALL IS WELL
SHE MISSES HER MATE, YOU CAN TELL.
BUT SADNESS DOESN'T KEEP HER AWAY
FROM DOING HER JOB, EACH AND EVERYDAY

HER BABIES ARE FED AND BROUGHT UP RIGHT
NOW EATING THEIR DINNER
IN THE SOFT MOON LIGHT
AS MOMMA STEPPING SOFTLY
GUARDS THE DOOR.
