MAJESTIC PRINCE

A tiger's legend soon begins
Like any alpha male,
Yet he was one majestic prince
That truly set a trail...
Across the land, no place his home,
Survival uttermost,
No family, so free to roam,
As if from coast-to-coast...

But fate had other plans and so
A tigress crossed his path,
Thus love for her began to grow
Towards his better half...
In partnership, these two took time
To raise their family,
With both of them still in their prime
Displaying loyalty...

Thus Nature's plan maintains the line,
The heritage and more,
The strong survive, served by design,
Their future to ensure...
Yet every tiger's quite unique,
As proved by tiger skins,
One day a cub so frail, so weak,
One day majestic prince...


Denis Martindale, copyright, September 2013.


The poem is based on the magnificent painting
by Stephen Gayford called 'Majestic Prince'.
