They had a bond Both wolf and girl They gazed into each other’s eyes They were each other‘s world They had a connection that could be seen They shared each other‘s hopes and dreams With words unspoken they could express Compassion with the girls finesse The wolf a gray and white fur coat The girl brunette, with a bright red tote They a pair, as the townsmen stared Walking side by side they so dared Without a thought, without a care No friendship could quite compare On one Sunday afternoon The wolf chased down a large raccoon He grabbed him by his head and ears And the poor girl broke out into tears From that day it became clear The girl must sever ties with what she held most dear.
