Description 3 of the 4 New Orleans Lionesses at the Henry Doorly Zoo, Omaha, Nebraska.
For my dear friend Thank you for being here for me through all this!! (I suck at poetry )

Refugees brought in from a storm
Huddled together to stay so warm
Friendship so close and warm and deep
Dreams of tomorrow enter our sleep.

Brought together by rough rocky seas
Fitting together with so much ease.
A new day awakes with the coming dawn
From my heart you’ll never be gone.

Thanks but I don't do much poetry because I do think I suck. I just wanted something special for to let him know how much I appreciated his friendship and support through all this. Don't expect a flood of poetry from me!!

So touching, I see your image
So feeling, I hear your words
Together, as one
They'll see the sun
Shine further and brighter
Warmer and lighter
Than ever, ever before

Thank you, this means so very much to me

Thanks! The one on the far left got up and moved and from what I could tell was the old momma. She didn't move real fast. Seemed kind of arthritic or something. Poor thing
