MORE THAN A LIONESS

In the velvet blackness of the Serengeti night,
a gentle purr and a soft cub-mourn intertwines,
gently drinking milk with satisfaction,
a mother and her cub a journey shall begin
filled with love she grooms his golden fur,
shimmering under the moon light,

The cub now has grown sharp his strong
day after day her wisdom he shall learn
willingly to give her own life
she protects and teaches him with pure love

she now is a bright star in the night sky
passing on the promise of life to his son
heir of wisdom seeking truth from the stars
a king becomes vagabond in this circle of life
