The Guardian Wolf

He walks among us,
Coming and going like a ghost.
He does so much for so many,
And asks for no recognition.

He carries wisdom beyond his years,
He is an old and sacred spirit.
He has so much to teach us,
Yet he wants to learn so much more.

He treats each day like a gift,
Living each day like it's his last.
He lets no second go to waste,
As long as he lives on.

His past remains where it is,
He stays focused on the present.
No one knows everything about him,
He is truly a mysterious creature.

So many take him for granted,
And think nothing of his presence.
He is often misunderstood,
Some people have betrayed him.

I envy so much about him,
Especially with all he has taught me.
No matter how much pain was inflicted,
He still continues to protect me.

He guards me with his life
And he makes sure I'm always safe.
He keeps all of his promises
That he's ever made to me.

He's never far from my mind,
He's never far from my heart.
I will never feel the amount of passion
I feel when I think of him.

If I was to be given the option,
I would choose to stay away.
I will never be able to give him
Everything that he truly deserves.

I'm content with how things are
Knowing that he's around, somehow.
I can be anywhere, at anytime
And I will feel reassured.

When I'm cold, I'll become warm.
When I'm sad, I'll remember to smile.
It's all because I know he's out there
Staring up at the same sky.

He is my guardian angel,
He is my watchful protector.
Because of him, I can sleep at night
And get out of bed in the morning.

I'm still breathing because of him,
My heart's beating because of him.
No matter who I'm currently with,
I will always be in love with him, too.
