first hunt

I have waited for the time to start my first hunt

As my father would laugh as he would say here comes the runt

My brother would come in with his hunt of the day

And tell the story of how he almost didn’t get away

For there was a mighty gray wolf that came after him

But he found a cave and block the hole so it couldn’t come in

The family was happy for we had a great feast

And thank the spirits that protected him from the beast

As I pick up my bow my father would just give me a glance

And my mother would cry for she didn’t think I would even have a chance

But it was time for me to make a stand

And to prove to the family I have become a man

So off to the forest as I started my quest

As I heard the spirits say you will do your best

Then I saw the wolf as it was foaming at the mouth

And I knew this was the one that my brother talked about

My heart was bounding as I pulled back the bow

As I heard the spirit say wait for it’s not time to let go

I watched the arrow while it went flying through the air

And remember the time my father would hold me in the chair

As I walk into the camp with the wolf at my side

Everyone was surprised that I was still alive

But the stories will be told how I made my first score

And became the might warrior never to be called the runt anymore
