Notes About The Poem

- Dad Protects the Kids - Tableau -

Living in freedom
                                   eyes always on guard
                                 So strong, big and tough
                                   Claws are razor sharp
                                deep roar from the throat
                                       A protective dad

I love this, a dad protecting his little ones. Reminds me of our orange tabby cat who is both a lover and a fighter.

Very well said! Don’t mistake a dad’s relaxing for disinterest. His mane will rise and will not pause until someone’s hurting.

A wonderful royal picture of the king of wildlife, hope they are all female babies, because a male lion will kill male pups from of his own or from another pride of lions, very sad to believe but true - they want no competition - an excellent write for the contest best wishes my dear friend. Love and hugs, Jennifer.

Great write, dear. I have several pictures of lions around my house. My favourite animals. You've described the essence of the picture well. Sending hugs
