Cree Name Poem
The Steady Wolf
By: Paige Huizenga
Her name tells of how
it was with her.
The truth is she always wanted
the best for her pack.
Everybody learned that nothing would
stop her from achieving her goal,
nothing would stop her from
loving her pack and withstanding
the troubles that they may encounter.
Whether the rain fell, or the wind
blew, or the snow became a blizzard,
life for Steady Wolf was constant.
Her love for others could not be
tamed.
But then others left more work for Steady Wolf,
wanting her to pick up the pieces. She knew
it was not fair, but mother nature is not always sincere.
She gives us challenges whether we like it
or not.
Life in the wild is a struggle.
So Steady Wolf remained there for her pack,
never giving up when the sun set.
