The Elusive Tiger

The mighty elusive tiger To meet him I went to the National Reserve I would even be happy with a liger To get near it needed nerve To meet him I went to the National Reserve It was a trip of a lifetime To get near it needed nerve Then I met the male in his prime It was a trip of a life time His eyes did golden shine Then I met the male in his prime It was a dream come true of mine His eyes did golden shine His stride matched his pride It was a dream come true of mine On the jungle floor he seemed to glide His stride matched his pride I would even be happy with a liger On the forest floor he seemed to glide The mighty elusive tiger By-Tahera Mannan

Smile ~ The tiger; what a beautiful creation they are my dear &, what a lovely poe ~ It is always pleasurable to behold a verse wherein one can stroll with its author upon a such a pretty path &, even find something else somewhat enchanting amid its lines; "Splendid Painting Tahera" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You & Yours,'" John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful' Day Dear;" Bye!:) ~

Reads as though you had an exciting time in your life...I don't know if I would be that brave to see one out in the open like that...Thanks for stopping by my blog..I have not had anything done for my back problems..When I got the myelogram, they did something that caused my foot and ankle to swell and was so painful that I could not walk..Finally got some Cortisone from the dr that order the test and with prayers I am feeling better..Sara
