A Wolf Prayer
By Darren M. Grine
Your spirit gave us life
Your power gave us strength
Your existence gave us purpose
Skillfully, you shadowed us
Willingly, we shadowed you
Mirthfully, we beheld Mother Earth
Side by side, we willfully shared
Graciously, it was both who howled
Together, we cried out to Grandfather
Fear not fear, but embrace
We are the people of the Sioux
You are wolf, our ancestral brother
