Karelian Strength

By

Foxpiper

With softest fur of black and white,

Roamed a maiden of beauty and might;

Twas she who endured at any length,

By the grace of Karelian strength.

Cursed to grieve for a great lover lost,

Painful bearer of the ultimate cost;

She was left to suffer such emptiness,

No longer feeling his fond caress.

Visions of times past became a blur,

As tears weighed heavily upon her fur;

Alas, was a tragic life worth living,

From cruelest fate most unforgiving?

Despite all the dour hardships and strife,

The young maiden courageously chose life;

Embraced by those whom she held dear,

Hope had a place with everyone near.

Moments of sadness would still persist,

Never forgetting her fair lover missed;

But light would banish the darkness away,

And let her greet the dawning day.

Thus, she wandered with spirit anew,

From stately mountains to the oceans blue;

Going the distance regardless the length,

Bless this girl of Karelian strength.
