Gander Story Poems: The Lion & God's Nature 6-9-18

June 9, 2018

The Lion and God's nature seemed to be at odds one day.

Was it all depressing? First, the lion had his say...
---

"I hate the freezing morning!

I just shiver by the river!

I am so depressed."

The river's flow was somewhat slow.

Back its whisper, it was chipper,

"I am ever blessed."

The Lion roared, "My stomach needs

a meal with some appeal!

I am so depressed."

One little hare seemed not to care.

Through the meadow was the echo,

"I am ever blessed."

The Lion roared, "The sun is up and it's so hot!

I'm sweating and I'm thirsting!

I am so depressed."

A little chick with outstretched wing was heard to always sing,

"It's so adoring, sunshine's warming.

I am ever blessed."

The Lion roared, "This rocky ledge has windy edge!

Insufferable, I'm uncomfortable!

I am so depressed."

Sung through the leaves with autumn's breeze,

though not with word, the Willow's heard,

"I am ever blessed..."

Then finally the Lion roared,

"Again I frown. The sun is down!

Though rain is done, it wasn't fun!

I am so depressed."

But painted twilight sky was bright

in rainbow's hallowed spectrum's glow.

"I am ever blessed."

The Lion and God's nature seemed to be at odds that day.

Was it all a blessing? Lastly, nature had its say.
