My Heritage

By Aljan (Sam) Copyright 2006-Forever

 

It was upon this rock I was born

Sleek and white

Like my mother and father before

Along with my brothers and siblings in the season of spring

 

The wind was soft as was the grass and the water that flowed in the river below

Blue was the sky

The same color of our eyes

The feeling…was gratifying

 

We were a playful and rough, my kin and I were

Much to our parents’ horror

Many a day would we tug at their limbs, pull on their fur

And choke the life out of them with our little teeth

 

They endured our harassment until their endurance ran out

Then they would run yipping and crying for mercy

My kin and I would always give chase

For we knew they would always return

 

Our bones lengthened and our muscles massed

Our muzzles grew as did our fur

My brothers became strong and handsome

While my sisters and I became sleek and beautiful

 

We are a pack

A pack of wolves who truly love each other

Among the wolves there is no such thing as an orphan

 

I am a wolf

A she-wolf, slender, white and beautiful

 

I am proud of my heritage
