The Lone Wolf is a majestic creature
It stands independent of any pack
It does not need an Alpha to guide its path
The Lone Wolf is not afraid of other wolves
It even visits other packs from time to time
Lingers for a little while, until they move on to another location
And the Lone Wolf is on its own once more
The Lone Wolf does not mind
In fact, it prefers its own company
Where there is found peace and quiet
But the Lone Wolf does not always want to be alone
Even a Lone Wolf desires a pack that won’t leave it behind, even a pack of one or two
Even a Lone Wolf desires the company of a mate, but it will search very long until the right one is found
The other wolves do not know these things
They admire the Lone Wolf who is so brave and independent
They wish they too could be lone wolves
But alas they are too afraid to venture far from the pack
Some of them pretend
They will say “Look at me, I am a Lone Wolf!”
To their friends who only shake their heads
The Lone Wolf does not seek attention for being what it is
The Lone Wolf seeks recognition for what it does
The Lone Wolf also desires praise for a job well done
Sometimes the Lone Wolf is sad
And it will stand in the rain
So the other wolves cannot see its tears
This is the Lone Wolf’s greatest disadvantage
The other wolves are so busy believing in it’s courage
They do not realize that Lone Wolf’s heart can also be broken
And they will never know
The Lone Wolf will stand in the rain
Until the storm passes
And the tears have run dry
It will pick up the pieces of its own broken heart
And put them back together one by one
Perhaps it will even learn to be happy again
That Lone Wolf will again roam the fields and forests
The Alpha of a pack of one
Content with its own company
Under the light of the moon
The Lone Wolf sings
Beneath the blanket of stars
It makes its bed
The summer wind caresses its fur
The grass tickles its whiskers
Sleep, Lone Wolf
Do not be afraid
You are never alone
