Sled Dogs Way

Snowy crystals forming on the ice,

enchanted land of the midnight sun,

glistening in the bright sunny light,

Sled dogs howl, always on the run.

In wait, two by two standing in line,

running, always showing their might,

together as one in harmonious time,

watching them pull is quite a sight.

A bark, a howl, for it’s their song,

booties upon their feet, ready to go,

excitement in the air, a constant long,

pulling the sled with a smooth flow.

Sitting upon the sled is such a rush,

the howling excitement fills the air,

you can hear the snow beneath crush,

once in a lifetime experience to share.

Risking the elements every single day,

sled dogs answering the call of the wild,

the natural driving passion of their way,

yet filled with the playfulness of a child.
