Lioness
A fire burns within her
Brighter then sun, moon or star
She is strength and she is softness
Born for some great life a loyal queen
Deserving of any crown jewel, yet
Her place is in this jungle
Concrete or forest,
With her young
Lighting their paths
And forgoing her own
they are her diamonds rough
Each one bringing unique light
Her creations, and her kingdom rest on
Nobility undefined by
any stone precious or semi
Her worth, no measure in gold
It is what she has given her children,
Her heart, her courage, her unconditional love,
That promises a reign that will span generations
