Waya Keeper and Teacher

Waya Keeper and Teacher 

May the keepers of the forest;
Do the best they can.
To keep the enemy at bay;
And protect these sacred lands.

May they remember;
That strength is found in packs.
That all are needed;
In this difficult task.

May they howl out a warning;
With the call of the wild.
That we must preserve our brethren;
For every man and child.

May their paws make many tracks;
Through the valleys and the fields.
Until the very day;
That balance is instilled.

May they teach us their medicines:
Of survival and renewal.
And remind us that man cannot;
Eat money and drink fuel.
