The Wolf And The Rose

 

 

  

Featuring the song

The Rose

Performed by Nikki Lechner & Steve Stone

The white wolf trudged along

His heart aching for his lost love

Who had recently left him

For the Great Wolf Spirit above.

He wandered around the woods

Having no special place to go,

When he came upon a glade,

and spied a beautiful rose in the snow.

 

 

He was so strongly attracted to it

That he felt compelled  to go near 

And paced around the flower.

His feelings still so unclear

 

 

He  laid down beside it
Upon the snowy ground.

 
To protect it form the
wind

That was blowing all around.

 

 


 
The rose lay quietly
Under the blanket of snow
 Bound by the roots beneath
No other place to go.

 

 

The beauty in the forest
 Tried but failed to reach the sun

 She feared that her very existence
 Was soon to be undone
.

 

 
Even with the warmth from the wolf
She seemed inherently to know
That it would take a miracle
For her to survive the snow.

 


Her petals began to drop
As she began to grieve
That soon the wolf would tire
And then would choose to leave


But the wolf stayed beside her

 Vowed they would never part
 
The rose had awakened love
Long dormant in his heart

 

  The storms of winter passed
 Sun again caressed the ground
The rose began to flourish
Nourished by his love so newly found


The wolf concerned about the rose
Yet longing for his den

Pulled the rose out  of the ground
And carried it from the glen


 He neared the entrance to his cave
And saw a brilliant light
Startled he dropped the rose
and began to run in fright


Then he heard a familiar howl
and he  turned  just in time to see

The rose turning into his mate
He questioned how could this be?
 


She said, "My beloved, my soul mate,
The  Great Wolf Spirit from above

Saw our pain and sent me as a rose

To test the steadfastness of our  love."

 

 

She walked slowly towards him
Her white fur glistening in the sun
A tear ran down his cheek
Knowing they would again be as one.

 


 
 

And they lived in celebration of their love forever and one day more..

The Rose

 

Lyrics by Amanda McBroom
Performed by Nikki Lechner & Steve Stone
 

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed

 



It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live




When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
 for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose
