My Little Lioness

Fear has no place in
your heart my little
lioness,
for you are so 
brave and strong.
I know the blame
from others will always
be so wrong and fast
but I do know that you
were built to last throughout
the storm
And you are so loving and
warm.
The serpents and their words should really not be heard;
for they are ants compared
to the elephants of ideas
in your head and the gentle strength and wisdom you
so delicately possess.
So my lovely little lioness,
with a heart of gold
and a wonderful tale
to be told some day...
Stand up and be bold
enough to blow the
sour serpents away
with a new roar they
haven’t heard before!
You are so much more.

“Dedicated To My Daughter”

Pardy, I love this poem you penned for your daughter, what an inspirational lesson you are teaching her, my power creature is a panther, whenever I am threatened in life whether real or imaginary, I call on my panther to be at my side, and then I am strong, this is a fav for me ~
