Laina The Lion
Full of courage
And strength
Is Laina the lion
Leaping and Prowling
Everywhere
And Every Day
Is what Laina the lion
Likes to do
Curious as can be
Is Laina the Lion
With eyes darting everywhere
Oh Laina the Lion
I wonder
What goes through your Lion brain
Did you ever ride an elephant in the jungle, or climb on top of a cloud?
Did you ever catch a unicorn in your garden, or from a mountain top shout out loud?
Did you ever see a fairy, dancing, and singing in the rain?
Did you ever talk to a dog and it tells you it’s real name?
Probably not! But….
Did you ever give a hug to those you love and tell them they are great?
Did you ever eat popcorn watching a movie and stay up really late?
Did you ever help someone in need, once or maybe twice?
Did you ever wish for better things, whose lives are not so nice?
When we are thoughtful, good things come to us
Do it like it’s fun, there’s no need for a big fuss
Because those who really love you, like it when you show that you care
And just remember, when you need them, they are ALWAYS there.
