Song of the Coyotes


Song of the Coyotes 

Each night I lay my head down

Deep in the Winter chill

I hear a sound beginning which starts as a lonely shrill

It soon becomes a song with a high pitched two-tone

A few join in to say you're not alone

Several more add their voices high and strong

Now all the woods are singing the Coyotes song

It's a sweet sound to me and soon I drift off with the tune

I dream of them singing together beneath the Winter moon

The Coyotes are Guardians of the highest ridge top

May their wild song continue and never stop

I pray God will keep them safe and forever free

May they always sing their Coyotes song to others and to me
