Greeting the morning through eager, new eyes.

Peacefully gliding beneath moonlit skies.

Joining together to howl with the pack.

Reaching to gather a tasty, new snack.

Rising on shaky legs, learning to stand.

Tumbling and playing on wide-open land.

...

I'll be beside you wherever you go,

Cheering with wonder and joy as you grow.
