COURAGE

COURAGE

When people think you are a lion
Because
You have the manes
Cannot walk on two feet
Can roar
(although it is hollow)


And all you see is a little lamb in the mirror
With soft cuddly hair
What discrepancy that is!


So who are you, my baby
Who are you!


Does it really matter?
Is what people see and how you see yourself
So important?
Will you be worth less or more?
Be that little lamb
But dress in manes and roaring colours
Walk on four and be cuddly
Be you
And don’t let others ever say you are less.
