My family is a forest.

My father is an oak tree,

standing tall and strong but sometimes swayed by a storm.

My mother is a thunderstorm,

quick to ignite a fire but brings sustenance as well.

My sister is a coyote,

shy to others but playful when with her own pack.

My younger sister is a frolicking fawn,

leaping trustfully but unwisely over fallen trees.

And I am an owl sitting on a branch watching closely over it all.
