Out in the wild, so vast and free,
A coyote roamed, as happy as can be.
With piercing gaze, she looked around,
At mountains and valleys, all around.

Her impact on the land was small,
But she made a vow to stand tall.
To be strong and resilient through it all,
And rise up whenever she would fall.

At night she let out a haunting howl,
That echoed through the forest like an owl.
It spoke of courage, strength, and pride,
And of the spirit that could not be denied.

So when you feel like you're small and meek,
And the world around you seems so bleak,
Remember the coyote's spirit true,
And howl your own howl, to see you through.
