Lioness

I thought of many an animal
Wondering who I would be
A cat, a dog, a goldfish
A rabbit, a pet maybe

The more I thought
Of which animal to be
A master of her elements
Skillful, wild and free

A Lioness is proud, strong and sure
She's pure of heart
Relentless in her role as mother
Her cubs, never will she part

If I was an animal what would I be? Contest

* “Yessss * I Surely Could See Your Precious Priceless Beauty * My Dear Sweet Beautiful & More Than Beautiful * `Beautiful Shannon` * As A Lovely Lioness In Extremes * Eloquent * Dignified * Strong * Loyal * Loving * Protective * Nuturing & Most All * Absolutely Beautiful * On & On & On & On * I Would Sit Amongst The Deserts Sun for Days * Just to Gaze Upon Your Beauties Grace * Dying From Thirst & Starvation, Yet * Believing That I Had Found * A Slice of Heaven Within * Your Endless & Magnificent Beauty * My Luv, Always & Forever * `Your Sarah.`” *
