springbuck and redtail deer
while
the
spirit of God draws near
we
shall
gather in the clearing
to
worship and praise
the
Almighty God
at last
perfect peace in his presence
A Tribute To A Mother Cheetah
Mother, mother where have you gone?
Your babies whine in their den
Whining for food and for you company
When will you return?
Run mother run as fast as you can
The lives of your babies depend on it
There are some who would kill them for food
Others who will just take them as their own
Mother, mother you know what you must do
That springbuck has no chance
It will run and it will die under the sun
Your babies need to eat
Your babies need to live to carry on life
Mother, mother train your babies to life
Train your babies to hunt
Mother, mother please return soon
Mother, Mother where have you gone?
