Tawnypelt lay in the nursery, watching her kits. She saw the apprentices playing outside, which led her to think about her apprenticeship.

A brave soul

Born in the storm

Followed her heart

To dwell with the shadows

The tortoiseshell she-cat remembered the day she had fled from ThunderClan to join ShadowClan, and her father.

A dark past she has come from

A grudge still held by some

She lived through it day by day

But she has found her own way

She was still not free from such accusations from before, but the others accepted her.

Acceptance now

Acceptance forever

Was only given

By the clever

Tawnypelt was glad of their acceptance; it had given her a happier life.

The brave soul

Accepted now

Will live in joy

That, the heavens vow.

Tawnypelt looked at her kits and decided that this was what her life was meant to be.

A brave soul

Born in the storm

Followed her heart

To dwell with the shadows

A dark past she has come from

A grudge still held by some

She lived through it day by day

But she has found her own way

Acceptance now

Acceptance forever

Was only given

By the clever

The brave soul

Accepted now

Will live in joy

That, the heavens vow.

Author's Note: Well, I sincerely hope you enjoyed that. I, of course, do not own Warriors, and especially the greatness that is Tawnypelt. I do, however, own the poem, and would appreciate it if you didn't steal it. Please review and tell me your thoughts.
