We Are

We Are

A Poem by Maddox
"

Just incase there is any confusion, the internal message written in red is not of my creation! It is a quote by Rudyard Kipling from the book "The Jungle Book" yup!

"

The teachers

Leading the way in everything

We do.

Misunderstood as worthless

Pathetic, a let down.

A strength that comes from within

The ability to stride ahead of

Everybody else

Overcome expectations that

Lead to a demise

Of the whole.

Set goals high to reach easily

The ones set too low.

Wolf, loyal ‘til the end

To those that deserve it.

Strong by their side through

Every event that is thrown

Against their back.

Fearless against the storm

That rages outside our

Den.

Fearless against the rival pack

That threatens our glory.

Our family is our goal

Our duty to protect

And our responsibility

To serve

The strength to continue forward

To bring entirety along the way

Fearless of the ability to help

Loyalty to stand by those that can’t

To fight for the ones in the pack

Who can’t fight back

It is to go above all expectations

Beyond all dreams

Braver than you believe

We will always rise stronger than the rest

We are

The wolf.

Niiiice, I love the wolf, this loyal yet fierce and equally majestic creature... known as WOLF!!! You've summed it up pretty amazingly *The strength of the wolf is the pack and the strength of the pack is the wolf* :)
