Wolves Mate For Life

powerful hearts
beating as one
beautifully entwined
through sickness, health,
the divine and sublime

the smiles sweetly genuine
laughter bubbling under the surface
affection in each embrace
dancing eyes
a dimpled face

pictures tell their story
a life that was well lived
a family well loved
the bus ridden 'till the wheels fell off

shirley and levell
the true alpha in the relationship forever unknown
but what is certain and true
is that the soul of the wolf, its power
was abundantly expressed in you

a lone wolf is a threat tis true
but a mated wolf is truly formidable:
fiercely loyal, protective, nurturing
the love of its one true mate
energizing it through the whims of fate

to find your one true mate in this world
is a gift carried on the breath of angles
to share a life together one half century long
is a blessing from God above
and your parents had both,
always remember they had both

wolves mate for live my love
it means simply that; nothing more or less
shared souls
two halves of the same beautiful coin

but when one wolf is taken
that loss is impenetrable;
life looses its flavor
colors are less vivid and
joy is muted
a strong heart is broken

mere mortals cannot fathom it
we have never found or caught our mate
we simply don't know

but for the true wolf
who has enjoyed his mate
he has sampled the nectar of the gods
his life forever changed

and when his time comes
to move on to the great beyond
he is ready
anxious to explore the next dimension
for the next iteration of life
in the hopes that his true love is waiting
on bated breath for him to appear
and find her soul again
