Maternal

 

There there

Sure it was a rough day

We had to run

Lots, and you’re

New at this

First those lions

Four pronged attack

You felt lost in

All the dust and hooves.

And our group, exhilarated

Wanted the run to keep going.

You trying hard.

Then the river and crocs

Waters almost deeper than you.

But I got under,

Pushed

And nuzzled.

My child…brave spunky child.

Rest now.
