MOTHER JAGUAR

Oh, how noble was the profile
Of Mother Jaguar
And so much so, she made me smile,
Because she looked a star...
And with her cub, she looked so proud,
As if she had enough,
As if her full share was allowed
And it was filled with love...

That little cub would cuddle close,
No other would it seek,
Like every special cub that knows
Their Mother's quite unique...
Their bond was everything, of course,
Survival at its best,
The very thing one would endorse,
It passes every test...

Though generations come and go,
That cub will grow up fast,
With passing years that always show
The values meant to last...
Without the guidance that's received,
What hope would help it through?
And that's the truth that I've believed
Can help me and help you...
