May the cry of the She Wolf be on high land,
And the wind whisper past the ears of man...
As voices wander through evening skies,
May the SheoWolf song silence the lies.
May all dance with you through spirits of old,
And come lay with you on nights of cold...
As the eyes of the She Wolf gleam with sight,
May we see through the darkness of our night.
May all hands come stroke your coat so soft,
And the beat of your heart awaken the spirit lost...
As your brother, your sister, your fellow kin,
May we feel the breath of the She Wolf within.

In the wild wolves can live up to 13 years or more, in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of land, a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old. But most wolves usually live to be to around 8 years of age. The record wolf life span is about 20 years of age. Life in the wild is difficult for the wolf, with human population taking up more and more wolf habitat, and with those who would kill the wolf, a long life span is unlikely. In a controlled environment they can live longer because they are safe from the outside dangers of traps, snares,enemies and poisons.
