Behold him! Bold, resilient,
The biggest of them all...
The wise one called the elephant
Who deafens with his call!
...
Two tiger cubs were laying low,
Until he came along...
Like someone you don't want to know,
Who's always doing wrong!
...
The wistful tiger wondered why
Some leaves were making noise...
He watched them slowly moving by
Yet knew they had no choice...
...
Consider creatures great and small
That live upon this Earth...
In fact, we cannot count them all
Or estimate their worth...
...
There comes a time when tigers sense
A pattern in their lives,
Of being born, of making friends
And adulthood arrives.
...
Places to go! Places to see!
The tiger started well.
Life's journey was a mystery!
What next? He couldn't tell!
...
The leopard looked with dark disdain
And ever-growing dread.
He sensed this day would bring him pain,
With trouble dead ahead.
...
A new babe joined the elephants
And they were standing proud!
Another life that would enhance
Their pleasant nomad crowd.
...
High spirits made the zebra leap,
For joy within his soul
Was something precious he could keep,
If he let slip control...
...
White lions are a rarity,
You won't see one each day...
Your eyes will stare till clarity
Assures you it's OK...
