A Mother Offers Hard Love
The lioness roars,
Setting her rules in place.
She doesn't know what will be,
She only listens to what she feels.
Her cub wanders away,
She picks them up by the neck,
Putting them in place to learn.
She's not always soft or approachable.
A mother offers hard love,
She does what she can to guide.
She doesn't know what will be,
She only listens to what her instincts tell her.
Her children will grow to leave,
She won't prevent them from becoming.
She will always be who she is,
With hope that she's done her best for her clan.
