Like Brothers

The fox is the smallest of all

At the bottom of the chain

Prey of many an animal

And often alone with his pain

The wolf is sleek and skilled

Feared by all around

Furs of those he's killed

Litter his cave's cold ground

Tonight the fox is his prey

Chasing butterflies in a field

Tall grasses block his way

And small flowers yield

The wolf's hunger is loud

Resounding in his head

His quiet makes him proud

While the fox makes his bed

The flowers cover his scent

Hide him from his tracker

The wolf wonders where he went

To hide from his predator

Quick as a flash

The fox makes his move

Gives the wolf a small gash

Then hides in a groove

The big hunter yelps

Covering his nose in pain

Begging the fox for help

As comes the first sign of rain

The fox licked his nose

Showing his tender affection

In the wolf's chest rose

A small coo of appreciation

They laid in the grass

Nuzzling into one another

Releasing sound similar to laughs

For all they have is each other

This is their game

The hunter and the hunted

This duo has quite fame

And they are never confronted

For with both families gone

They need no others

Never will they be alone

For they are just like brothers
