silver wolf

I have seen him since I was three,
He is my protector.
the great silver wolf that has
followed me for years
since I was but a child.
He has always been there for me.
My mother said that he was
an angel sent to me from god
for my own protection.
I cried the day I was forced
to leave my home in Minnesota.
I would be forced
to leave my angel behind.
I cried most of
the way to my new home.
No one knew of my angel.
it was six day's
later that he reappeared to me.
My grandmother
wanted him gone.
but I kept him safe.
He was my angel,
My protector and friend.
I would slip out of the
house just to sleep by his side.
he followed me every where.
I was sad when he
left me three years ago.
I was heart broken when
I realised he had died of old age.
But god sent me a new angel.
He sent me a new friend.
My old wolf lives
forever on in my heart.
But my new wolf
lives still in this world.
I know that he is here
somewhere watching
out for me. I can feel the
steely gaze of his eyes
on my back most days when I am outside
I know where he hides.
I know where he sleeps at night.
underneath the old pear tree in the backyard.
Maybe it is he who sends me these awful dreams?
Or maybe it is he who is trying to save me.
I don't know the point in these stupid dreams
but I do know that my new wolf is trying to help me.
