The Pride

The lion's thunderous roar breaks the dawn
As creatures begin to stir on the plains
 To the water's edge they soon will be drawn

 To quench their thirst, and their life to sustain
 Lionesses gather to ambush prey
 In the tall grass, in silence they remain

 Suddenly the attack is underway
 As frightened creatures scatter far and wide
 An zebra's caught,   the first meal of the day

 Over these plains the king of beasts presides
 And  his mighty roar echoes through the pride
