Hold on they say
Do what's right
Even in the blackest of night
Be the mother
The lover
The father to all
To care for hatred
To those who fall
Nurture your heart to give to mine
Healing the self can redefine
You grow your worth and ground if others
do cross the line
You are a lion
A lioness
An eagle in full flight
A bat sensing the cave without eyes sight
A tiger
Tigress
A dragon of fire
Breathing hard and full with will to fly higher
Though you feel the dirt beneath your feet
You sympathise to the troubled
Struggling merchant
Beggar on the street
You know your strength and where you stumble weak
You are tender to touch
but
your bold folds
Deep
